Plan Description

If you’re targeting the Half Distance Triathlon in Rio de Janeiro, your training must reflect the course’s fast, scenic, and demanding profile. With a calm ocean swim at Copacabana Beach, a flat and fast bike route along Avenida Atlântica, and a scenic run through Aterro do Flamengo, your success depends on a plan that builds power, endurance, and heat resilience.

💥 Enter our Advanced Six-Month Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan – built specifically for athletes like you aiming to perform at your peak on race day.

✅ Progressive Training Load: Begin at 9.5 hours per week and build to 14 hours—strategically designed to peak your fitness for Rio’s race conditions.
✅ Aerobic Endurance for Open Water: Long swim sets and aerobic base training help you confidently tackle Copacabana’s 1,900-meter swim in ocean conditions.
✅ High-Intensity Bike Workouts: Structured VO₂ max and threshold sessions develop the stamina and strength needed for Rio’s 90K flat, fast bike course.
✅ Run Durability in the Heat: Tempo runs and interval training simulate the effort of the three-lap, 21K run along the sun-exposed, humid shoreline.
✅ Anaerobic Power for Race-Day Surges: Sprint and climbing intervals sharpen your speed and power for strategic breakaways or final pushes.
✅ Heat Acclimation Guidance: Optional workouts and tips to help you adapt to Rio’s average race-day temperatures (around 80°F / 27°C).

Plus, every training plan includes personalized email coach support, so you’re never training alone. You’ll get expert advice, encouragement, and customized feedback whenever you need it.
