Plan Description
Set against the stunning backdrop of Manta, Ecuador, the Half Distance Triathlon offers a coastal course that is both scenic and demanding. Race day includes a 1.9km swim in the warm, clear Pacific Ocean (78°F/26°C), followed by a flat, fast-paced 90km bike along the shoreline, and a 21km two-loop run through the vibrant streets of Manta, where a steady 77°F (25°C) breeze keeps you company.
To prepare effectively for this unique course, the Beginner’s Six-Month Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is designed specifically for athletes seeking structured, progressive training that matches the demands of the Manta course—whether it’s the open-water swim, the sustained effort of a flat bike route, or the mental and physical endurance needed for a warm, tropical run.
This structured plan offers:
✅ Swim Preparation for Open Water: Technique-focused swim drills and open-water simulation sessions help you adapt to the calm yet unpredictable Pacific conditions.
✅ Flat Course Bike Conditioning: Progressive cycling workouts target sustained power and pacing, perfect for Manta’s fast, flat, 3-lap bike route.
✅ Run Efficiency in Warm Conditions: The plan incorporates tempo runs and heat adaptation guidance to help you stay strong and confident through the two-loop run course.
✅ Strength Training Support: Customized strength workouts—with video guidance*—reduce injury risk and improve form across all three disciplines.
✅ Heart Rate & RPE-Based Training: Every session uses practical training metrics, helping you tune into your body and manage race-day effort smartly.
✅ Expert Email Coach Support: Have questions or need help adjusting the plan to your life? Your coach is just an email away for personalized guidance.
Whether you're a first-time triathlete or returning to the sport, this plan supports steady growth, sustainable performance, and race-day confidence.
Take the next step in your Half Distance Triathlon journey—start training with a plan that’s built for your goals and backed by expert support.
