Train Smart for the Half Distance Triathlon Panamá – Your 36-Week Plan to Race-Day Success
Get ready to race through the heart of Panamá City, a modern metropolis surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and the legendary Panamá Canal. The Half Distance Panamá Triathlon is a one-of-a-kind event offering panoramic views, a fast and flat course, and the thrill of racing beside iconic landmarks like Casco Viejo and the Puente de las Américas. With this 36-week intermediate training plan, you’ll be fully prepared to perform your best in one of the world’s most scenic triathlons.
🏊♂️ SWIM – Conquer the Canal
