Plan Description
Training for the Half Distance Panama Triathlon isn’t just about finishing—it’s about racing strong in one of the most iconic and tropical race destinations in the world. Our 6-Month Advanced Half Distance Training Plan is meticulously crafted for experienced triathletes who are ready to elevate performance and conquer this unique course.
Set in Panama City, this race features a point-to-point swim in the warm Pacific side of the Panama Canal, a flat and fast 3-loop bike course showcasing both modern skyscrapers and historic Casco Viejo, and a panoramic run along Calzada de Amador. To thrive in these fast yet demanding conditions, your training needs to be just as dynamic—and this plan delivers.
🔥 Progressive Volume for Real Race Conditions
Starting at 9.5 hours per week and peaking at 14, this plan mirrors the increasing physical demands of Half Distance Panama, preparing your body for the heat, humidity, and long sustained efforts required on race day.
🏊 Aerobic Endurance Training
You’ll build a deep aerobic base to handle the 1.2-mile swim efficiently, even in tropical waters averaging 78°F (26°C)—a crucial component for conserving energy early in the race.
🚴 VO2 Max & Threshold Sessions
Flat, fast bike courses demand speed and sustained output. Through interval and VO2 max sessions, you'll sharpen your ability to maintain high average speeds across the 56-mile bike leg, even under hot, humid conditions (91°F / 33°C).
🏃 Anaerobic & Sprint Workouts
Gain a decisive edge with anaerobic power training that boosts your ability to surge and push through tough spots on the 13.1-mile run, especially with Panama’s open exposure and heat.
💪 Race-Specific Simulation
With long bricks, race-day simulations, and peak-effort training blocks, this plan ensures you're race-ready—physically and mentally.
If you have a solid endurance base and you're ready to train with purpose, this program will prepare you to race the Half Distance Panama strong, fast, and confident.
