Racing the Full Distance Triathlon in Chattanooga is no small feat—from the swift Tennessee River swim to the demanding 112-mile bike and iconic riverfront marathon finish. That’s why the Competitive Masters 40+ Six-Month Full Distance Triathlon Training Plan is built to prepare you for this exact race—physically, mentally, and strategically.
🏁 Prerequisite Base:
Before diving in, a 4–6 week base endurance phase is suggested to build aerobic readiness. Then, week one launches with VO2 interval training, setting the tone for race-specific strength and speed development.
💧 Swim Prep for the Current-Assisted River
This plan features open water-focused workouts and stroke drills—so you’ll glide efficiently through the 2.4-mile Tennessee River swim and exit the water strong.
🚴 Power for 4,300 Feet of Elevation
Conquer Chattanooga’s three-loop US-27 course with structured long rides and power-based intervals that mimic race-day demands.
🏃 Run Ready for the Riverwalk Marathon
The 26.2-mile run requires durability and pacing. We build both through progressive brick workouts, long runs, and marathon-paced intervals designed for strength on tired legs.
