Plan Description
Preparing for the Full Distance Triathlon Switzerland-Thun is about more than just finishing—it’s about showing up ready to meet the demands of one of Europe’s most stunning and challenging courses with confidence, resilience, and clarity.
This six-month intermediate plan is thoughtfully built for athletes who already have a foundation and are now ready to go deeper—into the kind of structured, intentional training that transforms potential into performance.
🏊♂️🚴♀️🏃♂️ What to Expect in Thun:
Swim: 3.8 km in the glacial waters of Lake Thun—two-loop course with an Australian exit, typically wetsuit-legal
Bike: 180 km of scenic but demanding terrain—technical descents, long climbs, and ~2,000 m of total elevation gain
Run: 42.2 km along Lake Thun and through the city—flat, multi-loop route across both paved and gravel paths
🧭 How This Plan Prepares You, Step by Step:
🌀 Progressive Structure with Purpose
✔️ Periodization follows a 3-week build / 1-week recovery rhythm
✔️ Weekly training gradually increases from 8 to 16 hours
✔️ Designed to promote adaptation—not just volume
🌊 Open Water Confidence

🦶 Run Durability and Discipline
