Plan Description
Take on the Full Distance Triathlon Switzerland-Thun with confidence and strength. This training plan is expertly designed to mirror the unique demands of the race’s swim, bike, and run courses, helping you cross the finish line stronger than ever.
✅ Swim Ready for Lake Thun’s 3.8 km (2.4 miles) Course
Our foundational 12-week phase focuses on essential swim drills, boosting your stroke efficiency and open-water skills. You'll build comfort in the water, essential for the calm, clear, but challenging two-loop swim with an Australian exit in Lake Thun’s glacial waters.
✅ Build Power and Endurance for the 180 km (112 miles) Bike Course
With 2,000 meters of elevation gain on rolling countryside terrain, this course demands stamina and climbing ability. Our training plan gradually increases bike volume and intensity, incorporating hill repeats and long rides that simulate race conditions to prepare your legs for the varied terrain and technical descents.
✅ Run Strong Through the 42.2 km (26.2 miles) Multi-Loop Run
The run course’s mix of paved and gravel surfaces along the lake shore and through Thun’s city streets requires endurance and mental grit. Our plan develops your running stamina through tempo runs and multiple-loop bricks, helping you maintain pace and focus on race day.
✅ Progressive Weekly Hours for Optimal Adaptation
Starting at 4.5 hours and building to 14.5 hours weekly, this plan carefully balances volume and recovery. You’ll experience steady progression, avoiding burnout while pushing your limits in all three disciplines.
✅ Comprehensive Brick Workouts
By blending swim, bike, and run sessions, you’ll sharpen your transition skills and build race-specific endurance — exactly what you need for the full-distance triathlon challenge.
This Full Distance Triathlon training plan is more than just workouts — it’s a complete journey to transform you into a confident, resilient athlete ready to master Lake Thun and the stunning Bernese Oberland terrain.
