This Long Distance Triathlon Almere-Amsterdam Training Plan is expertly designed to prepare you for every unique aspect of the race course, ensuring you’re ready to perform at your best on race day.
The swim in the Long Distance Triathlon Almere-Amsterdam features two laps totaling 3.8 km in the sheltered Weerwater lake, with a counterclockwise route starting and finishing near the Esplanade. Our plan begins with a 12-week base phase that builds your endurance and swim technique progressively, easing any concerns about previous mileage. Video-guided swimming drills and open water practice sessions are integrated into the 24-week Long Distance training segment, helping you master sighting and pacing strategies critical for this swim.
The bike course’s two 90 km laps offer flat, fast roads through Flevoland’s polder terrain, along dikes with open views and the ever-present challenge of wind. Our training plan includes structured bike workouts that grow from steady endurance rides to targeted interval sessions based on power and heart rate, simulating the demands of battling wind and maintaining speed on flat terrain. The inclusion of brick workouts—bike-to-run transitions—prepares your legs for the shift to the run after 180 km of cycling.
Running four laps around Weerwater lake for a full marathon can be mentally and physically taxing. This plan’s run sessions evolve from base endurance to anaerobic threshold and tempo workouts, building the stamina and speed necessary to tackle the 42.2 km run while soaking in the race’s scenic blend of cityscape and green spaces.
