Plan Description
Designed for athletes targeting the Long Distance Triathlon in Jacksonville, Florida, this 36-week plan builds the endurance, strength, and speed required to excel across the St. Johns River swim, the fast city-center bike leg, and the scenic two-loop run through Jacksonville’s urban core. Structured with scientific precision and real-world race demands in mind, it ensures you’re ready for every challenge this fast, flat, and vibrant course delivers.
🏊♂️ SWIM PREPARATION: ST. JOHNS RIVER SPEED & EFFICIENCY
The 12-week Base Phase emphasizes swim endurance and technique refinement through structured drills and video-based instruction. Athletes gain efficiency for the 2.4-mile downriver swim, capitalizing on the gentle current while maintaining controlled pacing. You’ll develop open-water confidence, stroke power, and sighting accuracy to thrive in Jacksonville’s wide, spectator-lined river start.
🚴♂️ BIKE PREPARATION: FLAT, FAST, & AEROBICALLY POWERFUL
Transitioning into the 24-week Long Distance phase, cyclists progressively build power and endurance for the 112-mile flat city ride through Jacksonville. The plan’s blend of aerobic endurance rides, threshold intervals, and power-based sessions mimics the demands of holding aero position for sustained speed on smooth, open city roads. Specialized Anaerobic Power and VO₂ Max sessions prepare you to surge efficiently while conserving energy for the marathon ahead.
🏃♂️ RUN PREPARATION: CONSISTENCY, STRENGTH, & MENTAL FOCUS
The final phase integrates Dynamic Brick Workouts, simulating the 26.2-mile two-loop run that crosses Jacksonville’s bridges and vibrant neighborhoods. Tempo runs, race-pace simulations, and recovery protocols are strategically placed to enhance muscular endurance, running economy, and hydration management under Florida’s humid conditions.
