Plan Description

Racing the Half Distance Triathlon in Lapu-Lapu, Cebu, Philippines, means you're facing hot, humid conditions, a fast and exposed bike course, and a scenic—but sun-drenched—run. Our 6-Month Advanced Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is built specifically to help you thrive in this tropical test of endurance, power, and grit.

Here’s how the plan prepares you for success on race day:

🏊‍♂️ Swim-Specific Endurance & Technique Workouts
Prepare for the warm 82°F (28°C) open water of Mactan Newtown Beach with structured swim sessions that build comfort, rhythm, and efficiency in tropical conditions.

🚴 Bike Power & Sustained Speed Sessions
Train on intervals and threshold rides that mimic the flat, fast terrain of the CCLEX bridge and Lapu-Lapu City. You'll be ready for consistent high-speed efforts across wide-open roads with wind exposure.

🏃 Heat-Adapted Long Runs & Loops
Get ready for the 21.1 km triple-loop run on Punta Engaño Road with progressive long runs and tempo sessions designed for hot, humid climates (avg. 91°F / 33°C). We guide you through pacing, hydration, and mental toughness for tropical racing.

💥 Key Plan Features & Benefits

✅ Builds from 9.5 to 14 training hours/week – for peak performance without burnout
✅ VO₂ Max & Threshold Training – elevate your race-day speed and stamina
✅ Anaerobic Sprints & Power Intervals – develop leg strength for surges, bridges, and breakaways
✅ Race Simulation Workouts – rehearse every detail, from nutrition to transitions
✅ Endurance Aerobic Base – critical for sustaining pace across all three disciplines
✅ Includes Personalized Email Coach Support – your questions, answered by an expert

This plan is for committed triathletes with a solid fitness base. If that’s you, we’re here to take you from prepared… to race-day ready.
