Plan Description

Training for the Full Distance Triathlon Wisconsin requires a balance of endurance, strength, and smart recovery. This comprehensive training plan is expertly designed to prepare you for the unique swim, bike, and run challenges of the raceโ€”helping you cross the finish line confident and healthy.

๐ŸŠโ€โ™‚๏ธ Swim Preparation: The two-loop, 2.4-mile open-water swim in Lake Monona demands efficient stroke mechanics and sustained aerobic power. This plan includes swim biomechanics drills and proprioceptive exercises that improve stroke efficiency and water feel, giving you the strength and technique to handle the cool 65โ€“72ยฐF waters with confidence.

๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธ Bike Readiness: The 112-mile bike course features rolling hills and technical turns. During the race-specific phase, youโ€™ll build power and endurance through targeted FTP and VO2 max intervals. Data-driven workouts guided by heart rate and power metrics develop the muscular and cardiovascular fitness needed to conquer the courseโ€™s elevation and technical demands.

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ Run Endurance: The marathon run through downtown Madison and the University of Wisconsin campus challenges your stamina after swimming and biking. The plan incorporates long tempo runs, aerobic base building, and neuromuscular drills to enhance coordination and running economy, helping you maintain strong pacing across varied surfaces with regular aid stations.
