Plan Description

As an experienced triathlete eyeing the Half Distance Triathlon in Poreč, Croatia, you already know success here requires a nuanced approach—one that reflects the specificity of the course, the physiological demands of each discipline, and the importance of smart periodization.

From the 1,900m point-to-point swim in the sheltered Plava Laguna cove to the 90km rolling bike course and the coastal 21.1km run, every detail of the course is reflected in this structured 36-week program. It’s divided into a 12-week foundation phase followed by a targeted 24-week Half Distance Triathlon build.

✅ Swim Preparedness Based on Race Conditions
You’ll sharpen open-water sighting, pacing, and stroke efficiency to confidently handle the clockwise swim start from Hotel Parentium. Sessions simulate calm cove conditions and race-day effort.

✅ Bike Workouts Tailored for Terrain & Power Control
The Poreč course demands steady effort across rolling terrain. You’ll train with sub-threshold endurance rides, aerodynamic cadence control, and power-based intervals designed to mirror the route through Funtana and the highway section.

✅ Run Training Built for Strength and Precision
The two-lap run along the Adriatic coast requires discipline, muscular durability, and the ability to manage pace across varied terrain. Brick sessions, tempo efforts, and anaerobic threshold runs will help you run strong off the bike.

✅ Smart Periodization for Optimal Adaptation
Built around a 3:1 training-to-recovery cycle, the plan gradually increases from 9.5 to 14.5 hours/week, supporting long-term growth without risking overtraining.

✅ Advanced Performance Development

🏊 High-efficiency swim technique

🏋️ Functional + traditional strength training

🧬 VO₂ Max and threshold intervals

🔋 ATP-PC sprint and anaerobic power work

🏃 Climbing accelerations to build strength and simulate course fatigue

✅ Personalized Email Coach Support Included
This isn’t a static PDF. You get real coaching feedback, helping you adapt, adjust, and stay accountable.

🎯 Take the intelligent path to the Poreč finish line with a plan that reflects your experience and ambition.
