Plan Description

Full Distance Triathlon Switzerland-Thun Training Plan for the High Performance Amateur

This expertly designed Full Distance Triathlon training plan equips you with everything needed to excel in the swim, bike, and run challenges unique to this stunning race.

๐Ÿ”ฅ 12-Week Foundation Phase
We start by building your endurance and strength from the ground up. Beginning with six hours per week and gradually increasing to ten hours, this phase develops the aerobic base critical for the 3.8 km swim in Lake Thunโ€™s calm, cool waters. A Brick endurance test at week 12 ensures youโ€™re ready to combine disciplines effectively.

๐Ÿ“† 32-Week Full Distance Specialized Training Program
This core phase mirrors the Full Distance Triathlonโ€™s demands, including sustained climbs and technical bike descents over 180 km with 2,000 meters elevation, and the multi-loop 42.2 km run along lake shores and city streets. The 3:1 workout-to-recovery ratio balances intensity with rest, maximizing performance without burnout.

โฐ Progressive Training Load
Hours build progressively from 10 to 18 per week, preparing you physically and mentally for race dayโ€™s endurance demands. A four-week taper sharpens your fitness, ensuring peak performance on race day.

๐ŸŠโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ Holistic Approach to Full Distance Triathlon Success
Our plan targets all key systems: swim technique refinement for clear visibility and calm lake waters; bike power and climbing accelerations to master Thunโ€™s challenging terrain; and run endurance on mixed surfaces. Incorporating Endurance Base Aerobic, VO2 Max, Anaerobic Threshold, and ATP-PC power training ensures you build speed, stamina, and strength efficiently.
