Plan Description

This 36-week Amateur Advanced Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is strategically designed to optimize your performance for the Half Distance Triathlon in Puerto Princesa, Philippines. By integrating structured endurance development, strength training, and race-specific conditioning, this program ensures a systematic progression toward peak race-day readiness.

1️⃣ Swim (1.9 km) – Baywalk Park’s Calm Waters
✅ Open water swim training acclimates you to race conditions, enhancing navigation skills and efficiency in tropical waters (84°F/29°C).
✅ Technique refinement drills and guided instructional videos support stroke efficiency, reducing energy expenditure and improving endurance.

2️⃣ Bike (90 km) – Rolling Two-Loop Course
✅ Heart rate and power-based training protocols develop sustained aerobic endurance and power output for rolling terrain.
✅ Climbing acceleration and anaerobic power intervals prepares you for the undulating elevation changes along Puerto Princesa South Road.
✅ Brick workouts (bike-to-run transitions) train neuromuscular adaptation, crucial for seamless movement from cycling to running.

3️⃣ Run (21.1 km) – Three-Loop Course with Rolling Terrain
✅ VO2 max intervals and anaerobic threshold sessions enhance cardiovascular efficiency and lactate threshold, allowing sustained high-intensity performance.
✅ Hill sprints and aerobic endurance training build strength for the initial uphill segment while improving race-day pacing.
✅ Power sprint sessions optimize neuromuscular recruitment for a strong finishing kick at Baywalk Park.

4️⃣ Climate Adaptation and Race-Day Strategies (86°F/30°C, Humid)
✅ Progressive heat acclimatization protocols improve thermoregulation, ensuring resilience in warm, humid conditions.
✅ Hydration and nutritional integration supports electrolyte balance and glycogen replenishment, reducing fatigue and performance decline.

5️⃣ Performance Optimization and Periodization
✅ ATP-PC energy system training and sprint intervals enhance explosive power for final race-week sharpening.
✅ Structured 3/1 training cycles (three weeks of progressive overload followed by one week of active recovery) maintain peak adaptation while preventing overtraining.
