Plan Description

This structured training plan is built to match the demands of the tropical Philippine course—designed specifically for intermediate triathletes like you who are determined to finish strong and perform at their best.

🏊 Swim Confidence in the Tropics
The 12-week base phase builds swim fitness gradually, preparing you for the 1.9 km open-water loop in Mactan Newtown Beach. You'll practice sighting, open-water starts, and steady pacing in warm conditions, helping you acclimate to the 82°F (28°C) tropical water temperatures.

🚴 Bike Strength for the CCLEX Bridge
Your 90 km bike leg demands flat-course endurance and sustained effort across the scenic but sun-drenched Cebu–Cordova Link Expressway. This plan includes long tempo rides, power-based intervals, and brick workouts that simulate the Cebu bike course conditions—preparing you to ride fast and efficiently in the heat.

🏃 Run Smart in Cebu’s Heat
With daytime temperatures averaging 91°F (33°C), the 21.1 km run along Punta Engaño Road is a true test of grit. We integrate heat-adaptation strategies, hydration timing, and progressive long runs to help you handle humidity and fatigue across all three loops of the course.

✅ 44 Weeks of Purposeful Training
✔️ 12-week base phase to build endurance and injury resistance
✔️ 32-week race-specific build phase tailored for Half Distance Triathlon performance
