Plan Description
Thinking about tackling your first Half Distance Triathlon in the breathtaking city of Florianopolis, Brazil? You’re in the right place. This beginner-friendly course includes a 1.9 km swim in the clear waters of Ingleses Beach, a 90 km bike ride combining rolling hills and flat sections, and a stunning 21.1 km run along the coastline and through the city’s historic center.
If you're feeling excited and a little overwhelmed—don't worry. That’s exactly what this 44-week Beginner Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is designed for: first-time athletes who want a smart, supportive path to race day success.
✅ Gentle Start, Strong Finish
We begin with a 12-week base-building phase that eases you in with focused strength, technique, and low-stress endurance work. You’ll develop the aerobic foundation, mobility, and movement quality that every new triathlete needs.
✅ Race-Specific Training Built for Beginners
The 32-week main phase introduces structured swim, bike, and run workouts based on perceived effort and heart rate—no fancy gadgets required. You’ll build up gradually, starting with 9.5 hours per week and peaking at 14 hours, so nothing ever feels too overwhelming.
✅ Strategic “B” and “C” Race Tune-Ups
Included in your plan are smartly placed tune-up windows where you can schedule local sprint or Olympic-distance events. These practice races help you test your pacing, dial in race-day nutrition, and gain valuable confidence before the big day in Florianopolis. 🧃🏃♀️
✅ Open Water Swim Confidence
You’ll get access to video swim drills that improve technique and efficiency—especially important for navigating the rectangular ocean loop at Ingleses Beach (expect 21–23°C water temps).
✅ Bike & Run Built for Florianopolis Terrain
Train for the course with a mix of hill repeats, endurance rides, and pacing sessions—matched to the rolling and flat terrain of Florianopolis. You’ll also build strength for the fast, flat run finish with structured brick workouts and tempo runs.
✅ Beginner-Focused Strength Sessions
Easy-to-follow workouts that help you avoid injury, improve endurance, and support strong movement—because your body is your engine.
✅ Support When You Need It Most
You won’t train alone. Your plan includes personalized email coach support—to help you adjust, stay accountable, and feel confident every step of the way.
👉 Take the leap. Start your personalized Half Distance Triathlon training journey today—with expert support and a clear path to the finish line.
