Laura Philipp doesn’t just shine on race day she’s one of the most consistent triathletes in the world.
This year, she opened her 2025 season undefeated, claimed victory at the Ironman World Championships, and made history by running the fastest Ironman marathon ever recorded: 2:38:27.
Behind these achievements is a training system rooted in precision, intention, and smart tools. A key part of her weekly routine? The LEVER System which Laura has used for over five years to reduce impact, increase efficiency, and stay injury-free while pushing the limits of performance.
Whether she’s dialing in workouts at altitude in St. Moritz or staying sharp during winter months indoors, LEVER helps Laura maintain her edge. Below are three of her favorite treadmill sessions each designed to build endurance, speed, and resilience without the harsh pounding.
1. 🏃 Aerobic Pyramid
How it works: Gradually increase pace every kilometer until reaching top aerobic effort, then reverse the pyramid and come back down.
Why she loves it: This session helps her build endurance and control across a range of aerobic zones without accumulating unnecessary fatigue.
LEVER Advantage: Offloading 10–20 pounds enables Laura to progress her pace more aggressively while staying biomechanically efficient.
2. 🔥 4x4 Tempo / 4min Easy
Structure: 4 minutes at tempo pace followed by 4 minutes of easy running. Repeat 4 times.
Why it works: This classic threshold workout improves her ability to hold pace, clear lactate, and stay smooth under pressure.
LEVER Advantage: Reducing impact lets Laura stay close to race pace even during heavy training blocks, while still recovering well.
3. ⛰️ 10x30s Hill Reps @ 5% Incline
The breakdown: 30 seconds strong uphill, followed by 30 seconds easy jog. Repeat 10 times.
Why it’s effective: These short hill bursts build leg strength, stride power, and mental focus—essential for any tough race course.
LEVER Advantage: Uphill running can be taxing—LEVER allows Laura to prioritize quality movement and higher cadence without overload.
