Plan Description

This 44-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan is specifically designed for advanced amateur athletes preparing for Rio’s flat, fast, and scenic course. Whether you're drawn to the calm 73°F (23°C) swim in Copacabana, the smooth three-lap bike along Avenida Atlântica, or the warm 80°F (27°C run along Flamengo Park’s shoreline—this plan equips you with the endurance, speed, and confidence to race at your best.

✅ Here’s How This Plan Prepares You for Race Day in Rio:

🏊‍♂️ Swim Confidence in Open Water:
Progressive swim workouts simulate ocean conditions, improving sighting, pacing, and endurance in warm, sheltered water.

🚴‍♀️ Flat & Fast Bike-Ready:
Three-lap flat bike course? No problem. The plan builds sustained power and stamina through structured tempo, interval, and long-ride sessions that mimic Rio’s Avenida Atlântica profile.

🏃‍♂️ Run Strong in the Heat:
With focused run training under aerobic and threshold zones, you’ll be prepared to manage Rio’s heat and maintain pace through the final kilometers along Aterro do Flamengo.

🔥 Phase-Based Structure for Peak Performance:

12-Week Base Phase: Build essential aerobic endurance and strength—even if you're starting from zero.

32-Week Progressive Build: Structured 3:1 training blocks (three weeks on, one week recovery) ensure sustainable gains and injury prevention.

Peak Training Volume: Tops out at 14 hours/week (week 39), preparing you for the demands of race day—without burnout.

💪 Functional Strength + Triathlon-Specific Power:
From mobility to maximum output, you’ll benefit from targeted strength phases that enhance efficiency across all three disciplines.

🎯 Scientifically Backed Sessions Include:
✅ VO₂ Max Intervals
✅ Threshold + Tempo Training
✅ Sprint & Power Development (ATP-PC focus)
