Plan Description
Conquer the Half Distance Panama with the 36-Week Advanced Training Plan
Prepare to race your best in one of the world’s most visually spectacular triathlons—Half Distance Panama. With its fast, flat bike course, warm ocean swim, and breathtaking run views of the Panama Canal and Bridge of the Americas, this race demands top-tier conditioning, strategy, and endurance. That’s exactly what the 36-Week Advanced Half Distance Training Plan delivers.
This comprehensive program starts with a 12-week base-building phase, focused on functional strength and foundational endurance. You'll develop the resilience needed to handle Panama’s heat and humidity, as well as the demands of a non-wetsuit swim and high-speed bike course.
The following 24-week Half Distance-focused phase uses a proven 3:1 training cycle—three weeks of progressive overload followed by one week of active recovery. It begins at 9.5 hours per week and gradually peaks at 14.5 hours, ensuring sustainable progress without burnout.
Key elements tailored for racing in Panama include:
💧 Swim Technique Work: Critical for navigating the point-to-point canal swim efficiently and confidently.
🚴♀️ Aerobic Endurance & Power Intervals: Perfect for Panama’s flat, fast bike course—maximize your speed and energy conservation.
🏃 Heat-Adapted Run Conditioning: Specific tempo and threshold training to prepare for the warm, exposed 13.1-mile run along Calzada de Amador.
🔋 ATP-PC Sprint & VO2 Max Intervals: Build explosive power and boost oxygen capacity—ideal for strong finishes and maintaining pace in high temperatures.
With targeted anaerobic, climbing, and sprint interval sessions, this plan is built to optimize aerobic efficiency, power output, and race-day execution—everything you need to dominate the Half Distance Panama Triathlon.
