It’s your step-by-step guide to becoming race-ready — even if you’ve never raced a triathlon before.
✅ Perfect for Beginners: This plan welcomes you with open arms, guiding you gently from your current fitness level to confidently tackling the full Half Distance Triathlon. All you need is a few weeks of basic aerobic training to build a solid base before jumping in.
✅ Build Strength and Endurance, Step by Step: No rush, no pressure — you’ll progress naturally through V02 Intervals and Anaerobic Threshold workouts that will boost your stamina for the scenic but rolling 90 km bike ride and the challenging two-loop 21.1 km run along the stunning Guincho coast.
✅ Swim with Confidence: The 1.9 km swim in Ribeira Beach’s protected bay can feel daunting — but this plan includes swim technique drills and open-water practice to help you glide through the water with ease, even in cool 17-19°C (62.6-66.2°F) conditions.
✅ Train Smart on Bike and Run: Every bike and run session is thoughtfully designed around your pace and heart rate to help you master the course — from the thrilling lap on the Estoril Formula 1 Circuit to the iconic Lisbon landmarks and supportive crowds cheering you on.
✅ Get Stronger, Injury-Free: With easy-to-follow strength training videos, you’ll build the muscle power and stability you need to keep going strong and avoid injuries, so race day is your day.
