Plan Description
This iconic race features a protected ocean swim in the bay of Ribeira Beach, a thrilling 90 km bike ride through coastal roads and historical Lisbon landmarks, and a challenging run along the stunning Guincho coastline. To succeed here, you need more than motivation — you need a plan built specifically to match the course's demands and a strong foundation of base mileage that effortlessly propels you through an Olympic distance triathlon.
✅ Built for Open Water Success
Our Half Distance Triathlon training plan includes open-water simulation workouts that prepare you for the cool Atlantic waters of Cascais (17-19°C / 62.6-66.2°F). You'll gain confidence navigating waves, sighting, and drafting — crucial for race-day success in the bay.
✅ Conquer the Hills and the Estoril Circuit
With weekly tempo bike rides and targeted power intervals, you’ll be ready for the undulating terrain of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park and the adrenaline-pumping lap on the Estoril Formula 1 track. These workouts mirror the unique combination of scenic climbs and flat power sections that define the Cascais course.
✅ Run Strong on Rolling Terrain
Our progressive brick sessions and tempo run training simulate the two-loop 21.1 km course to Cabo Raso. You’ll develop the leg strength and pacing skills needed to thrive on the coastal run, especially in the wind-prone open stretches.
