Plan Description

The Full Distance Triathlon in Chattanooga is one of the most dynamic and rewarding challenges in the sport. With a current-assisted 2.4-mile swim in the Tennessee River, a hilly 112-mile bike course with 4,300 ft of elevation, and a marathon that winds through Chattanoogaโ€™s scenic riverfront and bridges, this race demands more than just endurance โ€” it requires strategic, data-driven preparation.

Our 36-week Full Distance Triathlon Training Plan is purpose-built for competitive Masters athletes (age 40+) who want to race with strength, speed, and confidence. Whether you're chasing a personal best or aiming for the podium, this plan primes your body for every demand Chattanooga throws at you.

๐ŸŠโ€โ™‚๏ธ Why This Training Plan Gives You an Edge
โœ” Race-Specific Endurance โ€“ Tailored workouts simulate Chattanoogaโ€™s current-assisted swim, rolling bike climbs, and long, flat run sections.
โœ” Progressive Adaptation โ€“ A proven 3:1 training cycle (3 weeks on, 1 recovery) reduces injury risk while maximizing aerobic gains.
โœ” Smart Data Integration โ€“ Syncs with Garmin, Zwift, and endurance analytics platforms to optimize training zones via FTP, MHR, and RPE.
โœ” Neuromuscular Efficiency โ€“ Swim drills enhance catch mechanics and streamline position for faster, smoother movement through the water.
โœ” Climbing-Specific Bike Work โ€“ Structured tempo rides and power intervals prepare you for the 4,300 ft of elevation on US-27.
โœ” Run Durability & Strength โ€“ Long brick sessions and marathon-paced runs condition your body for the final 26.2 miles on fatigued legs.

๐Ÿง  Backed by Science. Built for Results.
โœ… Phase 1: 12-Week Base Build
โ€“ Enhances aerobic capacity and mitochondrial efficiency.
โ€“ Targets swim technique with proprioceptive drills and VO2 max intervals.

โœ… Phase 2: 24-Week Race Prep
โ€“ Expands race-day stamina with long endurance rides and tempo sessions.
โ€“ Boosts speed with VO2 and LT2 intervals. Peaks at 16 hours/week using a polarized model.

๐Ÿ’ช Additional Performance Boosters
โœ” Periodized Strength Workouts โ€“ Increases resilience with tendon-strengthening and eccentric training.
โœ” Wearable-Integrated Swim Plans โ€“ Receive detailed swim instructions directly on your watch.
โœ” HRV & Power Analytics โ€“ Fine-tunes training load and recovery based on your physiology.

This isnโ€™t just a training schedule โ€” itโ€™s a complete performance system designed for the demands of the Full Distance Triathlon Chattanooga.
