Plan Description

The Full Distance Triathlon Switzerland-Thun challenges you with a 3.8 km swim, 180 km bike, and 42.2 km run. This 36-week Full Distance Triathlon training plan is designed to prepare you fully for the unique demands of this iconic race.

๐Ÿ”ฅ The first 12 weeks build a strong endurance base, essential for the two-loop swim in Lake Thunโ€™s clear, cool water.

๐Ÿ’ช Then, the 24-week training phase follows a proven 3/1 cycle: 3 weeks of hard training followed by 1 week of active recovery to keep you fresh and progressing.

๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ Early focus on strength training improves your muscle endurance for the bikeโ€™s climbs and descents while refining swim technique and introducing VO2 interval training.

๐ŸŒŠ Swim drills, including video guidance, prepare you for calm but challenging open water conditions.

๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธ Bike workouts based on heart rate and power develop the stamina to handle the 180 km course with 2,000 meters of elevation gain.

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ Running sessions increase in intensity and volume, simulating the flat, multi-loop course along Lake Thunโ€™s shore with varied terrain and aid stations.

๐Ÿ“ˆ The plan evolves to include VO2 max intervals, threshold training, and brick workouts to enhance endurance, speed, and transitions.

๐ŸŽฏ Personalized email coaching keeps you motivated, adapting your plan as you improve and guiding you through challenges.
