Plan Description
You’ve set your sights on the Half Distance Triathlon in Cascais, Portugal—a race that promises not just a physical challenge, but a journey through some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Europe. From the crystal-blue swim in Ribeira Beach bay to the scenic bike course through Sintra-Cascais Natural Park and the coastal run along Guincho Beach to Cabo Raso—this is more than a race. It's an experience.
And you deserve a training plan that honors that journey—and meets you exactly where you are.
🌟 Our 44-week Beginner Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is thoughtfully crafted for first-time triathletes like you—athletes with a dream, a spark, and the courage to chase it. Whether you're brand new to the sport or returning after time away, this plan meets you with structure, guidance, and support at every step.
Here’s how this plan prepares you for your Cascais experience:
💧 Build Confidence in the Water: Cascais begins with a single-loop ocean swim. Our early swim sessions focus on form, comfort, and open-water confidence—empowering you to feel calm and strong in the Atlantic.
🚴 Ride Strong and Steady: The 90 km bike route is both stunning and dynamic. With structured rides based on effort and heart rate, you'll gain the endurance and strength to tackle rolling hills, coastal winds, and even a lap on the Estoril Formula 1 Circuit.
🏃 Run with Resilience: The 21.1 km run along the coast is beautiful but demanding. We help you build the stamina, pacing, and mindset to meet the challenge with strength—and to finish with pride.
