The legend of the Alpe d’Huez Triathlon lies not only in its famous 21 bends, but also in the difficulty of its mountain routes. The best way to prepare for this magical event is to follow a coherent training plan. Triathlon champions Fred Belaubre and Charlotte Morel have devised a 6-month training plan to help you get ready for D-Day.
Tested last year by a large panel of participants, iDO Sport’s training plans are even more adapted to the specificities of this year’s Alpe d’Huez Triathlon. It’s worth noting that the creators of this clear, intuitive application, Charlotte Morel and Fred Belaubre, are two international triathletes who have flown the flag for France at the Olympic Games, the European Championships and the most famous races on the circuit. Also both former winners of the Alpe d’Huez M triathlon, Charlotte and Fred have a detailed knowledge of the event and can therefore give their wise advice to all those looking to perform well this July.
Testimonial from an iDO Sport triathlete
« I’m primarily a trail runner, but I also cycle regularly and occasionally do a triathlon. When I signed up for the Alpe d’Huez Triahlon in December 2022, I hadn’t done a triathlon for a long time. Alpe d’Huez is a tough event, so I thought the iDO Sport package was a good idea. The plan gave me a valuable structure for my training. Thanks to the program, I had a clear idea of what I needed to do to prepare properly for my race. I was reassured to have a framework adapted to the race and the advice of experienced coaches. »

A complete preparation with iDO Sport
Depending on the race you have chosen, your objective, your availability and your level, the app offers you a specific training plan, the duration of which enables you to prepare in full: the three fundamental phases of any sport program are covered, from ground, general and auxiliary preparation through to pre-competitive sharpening, via the specific preparation cycle. At the heart of these programs are, of course, the main principles of training: progressiveness, alternation between development and recovery, and retro-planning.
All the qualities needed to perform well in triathlon and in the mountains can be worked on thanks to the medium-term investment represented by 6 months: power, speed, strengthening and endurance, but also the volume and intensity specific to triathlon. Technical exercises are offered in swimming, while split sessions adapted to personal intensity zones are programmed in all three disciplines. Emphasis is also placed on the specific characteristics of mountainous terrain, so as to be ready to tackle the hills in running and cycling.
The icing on the cake is that the app lets you modify the sessions, move them around, reformulate them… The best way to ensure that the tool matches your expectations, your particularities and your constraints!
"MyTribe coaches are qualified, experienced triathlon coaches... and just as passionate as you are! They have prepared comprehensive 6-month training plans to ensure that you arrive on race day in the best possible condition. Specific planning ensures that you're optimally prepared".
