Plan Description
The 36-week beginner training plan is specifically designed to prepare you for the unique challenges of the Half Distance Triathlon in Puerto Princesa, Philippines. Here's how it aligns with the racecourse:
Swim (1.9 km) - Calm Waters, Warm Temperatures
- The foundational phase (first 12 weeks) emphasizes swim endurance and technique refinement, ensuring confidence in calm, warm waters (84°F/29°C).
- Video-guided swim drills help with efficient stroke mechanics and breathing techniques, crucial for maintaining speed and energy in warm conditions.
- Open-water swim training later in the plan prepares athletes for sighting buoys and swimming efficiently in race-day conditions.
Bike (90 km) - Rolling Terrain with Hills and Flats
- The progressive bike workouts help build hill-climbing strength and endurance for the rolling two-loop course.
- Structured sessions based on RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) and heart rate zones develop power and stamina, crucial for sustained effort on Puerto Princesa South Road.
- Brick workouts (bike-to-run transitions) improve leg adaptability, reducing fatigue when shifting from cycling to running.
Run (21.1 km) - Uphill Start and Rolling Terrain
- The steady uphill start and loops along Rizal Ave require strength and pacing strategies, incorporated in the gradual endurance runs of the plan.
- Tempo and interval training sessions enhance speed and endurance, ensuring you can tackle the rolling terrain efficiently.
The plan includes heat adaptation strategies, preparing you for race-day temperatures of 86°F (30°C).
Additional Benefits
- Strength training sessions build muscle resilience, reducing injury risk.
- Gradual weekly training volume increases (from 7 to 12 hours) help prevent burnout while optimizing performance.
- Race simulations allow you to practice transitions, nutrition, and pacing before event day.
This training plan ensures you're race-ready, confident, and capable of conquering Puerto Princesa's breathtaking yet demanding Half Distance Triathlon. Ready to commit? Let's go! 🚀💪
