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.
🔥 The first 12 weeks build a strong endurance base, essential for the two-loop swim in Lake Thun’s clear, cool water.
💪 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.
🏋️♂️ Early focus on strength training improves your muscle endurance for the bike’s climbs and descents while refining swim technique and introducing VO2 interval training.
🌊 Swim drills, including video guidance, prepare you for calm but challenging open water conditions.
🚴♂️ Bike workouts based on heart rate and power develop the stamina to handle the 180 km course with 2,000 meters of elevation gain.
🏃♂️ Running sessions increase in intensity and volume, simulating the flat, multi-loop course along Lake Thun’s shore with varied terrain and aid stations.
📈 The plan evolves to include VO2 max intervals, threshold training, and brick workouts to enhance endurance, speed, and transitions.
