Plan Description
Prepare for the Half Distance Triathlon in Manta, Ecuador with a Proven 44-Week Intermediate Training Plan
The race begins with a 1.9km swim in the warm Pacific Ocean, averaging 78°F (26°C), offering calm waters ideal for building early momentum. This is followed by a flat, fast 90km bike course along Manta’s oceanfront, perfect for athletes who can sustain steady pacing and capitalize on aero positioning. Finally, the 21km run unfolds over two loops through city streets with an average air temperature of 77°F (25°C), supported by ocean breezes and enthusiastic local spectators.
To meet the demands of this unique event, our 44-Week Intermediate Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is strategically designed to help you build endurance, improve performance, and arrive on race day with confidence.
✅ Progressive Structure Built for Success
Start with a 12-week base phase designed to establish aerobic efficiency and muscular endurance, even if you're starting from scratch. Then, transition into a 32-week sport-specific progression tailored to Half Distance Triathlon performance.
✅ Race-Specific Preparation
Structured swim workouts develop open water comfort and technique—essential for the Pacific Ocean start. Power-based cycling sessions help you master the sustained output required for Manta’s flat bike course. Tempo and brick runs simulate the warm, breezy conditions of the Ecuadorian coastline.
