Plan Description
Half Distance Triathlon Gulf Coast Training Plan – Dominate Panama City Beach
🏊♂️🚴♂️🏃♂️
Ready to race the Half Distance Triathlon Gulf Coast in Panama City Beach? This Advanced 44-Week Training Plan is engineered specifically for this stunning but challenging course—from the Gulf swim to the fast forest bike and flat beachfront run. If you're aiming to finish strong and confident, this plan is for you.
🌊 Gulf Swim Confidence
The 1.2-mile swim in the Gulf of Mexico is clear and beautiful—but often includes currents, chop, and marine life. Our swim training includes open water simulation, pacing work, and technical refinement so you're prepared for every condition this clockwise course can throw at you.
🚴 Fast, Flat, and Focused Biking
The 56-mile ride heads through Pine Log State Forest with mostly flat terrain and light winds. While it's a speed-friendly course, subtle rollers can catch you off guard. Our structured bike sessions build strength in the saddle, efficient cadence, and aerodynamic endurance—perfect for maximizing your time in the aerobars.
🏃 Crush the Coastal Run
The 13.1-mile, three-lap run is flat, fast, and full of cheering spectators. With temperatures rising from the mid-50s to 70s, smart pacing and heat management are key. This plan includes threshold intervals, race-pace runs, and mental strategies so you finish strong along the emerald coast.
🔥 Why This Plan Works
