Plan Description
Get ready to conquer the Half Distance Triathlon in Valencia, Spain—an unforgettable race through a city known for its stunning architecture, rich culture, and perfect spring weather. From a calm 1.9 km swim in the Marina de Valencia to a dynamic 90 km bike through the scenic Sierra Calderona, and a 21.1 km run along the Túria River path, this course is built for performance—and so is our training plan.
🌊 Train Precisely for Valencia’s Demands
Designed specifically for the Half Distance Triathlon Valencia, this six-month intermediate training plan prepares you for the technical, environmental, and physical demands of race day. Expect consistent highs around 24°C (76°F), mostly flat terrain with 800m of elevation on the bike, and a spectator-friendly run course—your training will reflect every element of this unique event.
🏋️ Progressive, Structured, and Sustainable
Start with 8 hours of training in week one and build to around 12 hours per week. This progression is crafted to build your aerobic base, develop tempo endurance, and prepare you for the open-water conditions of the 1.9 km swim. Each phase of training aligns with your energy systems and the specific pacing strategies required for success in Valencia.
🚴 Build Endurance and Race-Day Strength
Our structured brick workouts mirror the stress of race-day transitions—especially important when moving from the demanding 90 km bike into the fast and flat 21.1 km run. These sessions enhance muscular endurance, teach pacing discipline, and improve recovery between disciplines.
🔥 Sharpen Speed and Threshold Power
VO₂ max intervals, anaerobic threshold sets, and long endurance efforts are layered into the plan to ensure you're physically and mentally prepared. This isn't just training—it's transformation. Every week is purpose-built to improve speed, power, and stamina.
💡 Why This Plan Delivers Results
Perfect for athletes who have completed an Olympic distance triathlon and are ready to take on the challenge, this plan bridges the gap between confident completion and strong competition. You'll gain practical experience with pacing, fueling, recovery, and race strategy—all tuned to the Valencia course.
Start your journey toward Valencia’s red carpet finish—train smart, race strong, and transform your triathlon potential.
