Plan Description
The Half Distance Triathlon Cascais Portugal is a stunning and equally demanding event—combining a cool, protected ocean swim in Ribeira Beach Bay, a scenic and rolling 90 km ride past Lisbon’s iconic landmarks and the Estoril Formula 1 Circuit, and a challenging 21.1 km coastal run with hills and wind exposure.
This 36-week advanced Half Distance Triathlon training plan is engineered to prepare you—physically and mentally—for every element of the Cascais course.
✅ Built for Real-World Race Demands
From the first 1.9 km open-water swim to the final 21.1 km run into the cheering crowds of Cascais, this plan mirrors the actual stress and structure of race day.
✅ Smart Periodization for Peak Performance
Using a 3:1 cycle of three build weeks followed by one recovery week, your training gradually ramps from 9.5 to 14.5 hours weekly—building without burnout.
✅ Swim-Specific Gains for Ribeira Bay
Focused open-water simulation workouts sharpen your technique and confidence for Cascais’ cooler (17–19°C) waters and fast-paced single-loop swim start.
✅ Power and Climbing for the Cascais Bike Course
Workouts emphasize endurance, anaerobic threshold, climbing accelerations, and power intervals—giving you the legs to dominate Sintra-Cascais’ rolling terrain and the Estoril race track.
✅ Run-Ready for the Guincho Coast Challenge
With targeted VO2 max, anaerobic power, and long aerobic efforts, your run training prepares you for the wind, elevation, and late-race fatigue of the exposed 2-loop run to Cabo Raso.
✅ Early Strength Emphasis
The first phase integrates functional strength and traditional resistance work—helping reduce injury risk and build durability across all three disciplines.
✅ Coach Support via Email 📬
You’re not alone. Every plan comes with personalized email coach support, giving you guidance, motivation, and smart adaptations when you need them most.
🎯 Whether you’re racing for a personal best or your first finish line in Cascais, this plan is your strategic edge.
