Plan Description
If you're targeting the Full Distance Triathlon on the breathtaking Sir Bani Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, this 24-week high-performance triathlon training plan is your key to showing up confident, conditioned, and ready.
🌊 The Swim: Calm waters with average temps of 18–22°C sound inviting—but don’t let that fool you. Our plan includes open water swim sessions and form-focused drills designed to help you stay relaxed, sight effectively, and conserve energy for the bike and run.
🚴♂️ The Bike: With four fast, flat loops around the island ring road and leg-testing climbs reaching 100m, your aerobic endurance and climbing power must be on point. Our plan includes:
✅ Endurance Aerobic Mile Training for long, sustained efforts
✅ Anaerobic Threshold & VO2 Max intervals to raise your FTP
✅ Hill Climbing Strength Intervals to dominate those elevated stretches
✅ Structured heart rate and power-based sessions for precision
🏃♂️ The Run: A marathon after 180K of cycling? That’s where our proven run strategies kick in:
✅ Endurance Base Mile Training to build resilience
✅ ATP-PC sprint intervals for finishing strength
✅ Progressive brick sessions to simulate race fatigue and refine pacing
