Plan Description

Taking on the Half Distance Triathlon in Cascais, Portugal demands well-rounded endurance, strength, and race-specific skills โ€” and this advanced 44-week training plan delivers exactly that. Hereโ€™s how it gears you up for every challenging element of the swim, bike, and run courses:

๐ŸŠโ€โ™‚๏ธ Swim Preparation for Ribeira Beach Bay
The 1.9 km swim in protected waters can feel fast but requires efficient technique and confidence in cooler 17-19ยฐC water temperatures. Our training plan builds your swimming endurance and refines your stroke mechanics early, so you enter race day calm and powerful, ready to glide smoothly through the beautiful bay amid cheering crowds.

๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธ Bike Training for the Scenic 90 km Course
From rolling hills in Sintra-Cascais Natural Park to the iconic Lisbon landmarks and the unique Estoril Formula 1 Circuit lap, the bike leg demands strength, pacing, and stamina. The planโ€™s progressive cycling volume and power-focused workouts, including V02 Max and threshold training, prepare your legs to handle varied terrain and keep your speed steady through every climb and fast stretch.

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ Run Conditioning for the Challenging 21.1 km Route
The two-loop run along the stunning Guincho coast to Cabo Raso features rolling hills and requires sustained energy. Our program emphasizes aerobic endurance and anaerobic power training to help you conquer those hills and maintain a strong pace with the enthusiastic crowds fueling your motivation in Cascais.
