Prepare to perform your best at one of North America’s most beautiful and challenging races — the Long Distance Triathlon Québec Canada. This 24-week High Performance Amateur training plan is designed to match the course’s unique demands: a 3.8 km swim in the historic Bassin Louise, a 180 km bike along the St. Lawrence River with 1,200m of climbing, and a 42.2 km marathon weaving through Old Québec and the Plains of Abraham.
🛑 IMPORTANT: This is not a beginner plan. You must complete 8–12 weeks of Base Training before starting. That includes consistent aerobic swim, bike, and run sessions — at least 8 hours per week — to build the endurance engine required for this program. Week 1 starts strong with Anaerobic Threshold Intervals, assuming you've already developed your aerobic foundation.
Here’s how this Long Distance Triathlon training plan prepares you:
✅ Endurance Base & Aerobic Mile Workouts – Extend stamina for long, sustained effort across Québec's bike and run terrain
✅ VO2 Max & Anaerobic Threshold Intervals – Elevate your power and speed for hills and surges along the river loop
✅ Hill Climbing Strength Training – Builds strength for the 1,200m elevation gain on the bike course
✅ ATP-PC Power Sessions – Improve explosive efforts needed to change pace or attack inclines
✅ Open Water Swim Training – Get comfortable and efficient in calm but dynamic water like Bassin Louise
✅ Brick Sessions – Simulate race-day transitions to manage the shift from bike to run smoothly
✅ Heart Rate & Power-Based Intervals – Fine-tune pacing for race day performance
✅ Run Gait Analysis & Swim Technique Drills – Maximize efficiency and reduce injury risk
This plan ramps from 10.5 to 18 hours per week and includes:
🏊♂️ Progressive endurance & speed sessions
🚴♀️ Power-based cycling workouts
🏃♂️ Precision run intervals
🏋️♀️ Strength sessions with expert video instruction
📩 Personalized email coach support throughout your training
