Plan Description

To conquer Pucón’s challenging course, you need more than just determination—you need the right training and a proven plan to show up at the start line confident and ready to race.

🌊 SWIM – 1.9KM
Your race begins with a thrilling open-water swim in Lake Villarrica’s cool, glacier-fed waters (66°F / 19°C), all with the mighty Villarrica Volcano towering behind you.

🚀 The first phase of your plan includes swim drills, stroke refinement, and endurance-building sessions to help you feel strong, efficient, and in control. By race day, you’ll be confident, ready to power through the swim, and comfortable in the open water.

🚴‍♂️ BIKE – 90KM
Pucón’s rolling hills and stunning countryside offer a challenging but scenic bike course. Every climb tests your endurance, and every descent fuels your adrenaline.

🚀 We’ll progressively build your strength, stamina, and climbing ability with heart-rate-based rides, power intervals, and endurance sessions.

🏃‍♂️ RUN – 21KM
The final stretch is a three-lap run through Pucón’s vibrant streets. With the support of the crowd and rolling terrain, mental toughness and smart pacing will be key to finishing strong.

🚀 The plan gradually builds your endurance and race-day pacing with tempo runs, and hill training - plus, brick workouts will ensure smooth transitions from bike to run so you can avoid fatigue and race strong, injury-free.
