This 44-week advanced Half Distance Triathlon training plan is engineered to prepare you for every challenge of the Valdivia course. From the cool Calle-Calle River swim to the fast countryside ride and flat city-center run, every workout is designed with your race day in mind.
🏊♂️ Swim Ready for Cold Water Confidence
Prepare for the 1.9 km point-to-point river swim (avg. 14°C) with focused open-water sets, wetsuit-specific sessions, and sighting drills to build endurance, technique, and cold-water comfort.
🚴♂️ Build Speed and Strength on the Bike
Valdivia’s 90 km ride through rolling meadows and riversides includes short steep hills and 1,400 ft of elevation. Our structured cycling progression boosts aerobic power, climbing ability, and race-pace precision for a flat, fast course.
🏃♀️ Execute a Smart, Strong Run Finish
The 21.1 km flat run over Valdivia’s iconic CauCau and Calle-Calle bridges is built for a negative split. You’ll train for steady pacing, quick cadence, and heat adaptation for the expected 71°F (22°C) race day.
🎯 Refine Without Burnout
Key “B” and “C” races are built into your schedule to simulate pressure and practice execution — without risking injury or overtraining. Sharpen transitions, fueling, and pacing with purpose.
