Plan Description

The Advanced 44-Week Half Distance Training Plan is specifically designed to prepare you for the unique demands of the Half Distance Triathlon in Puerto Princesa, Philippines by enhancing endurance, strength, and race-specific conditioning. Here's how it aligns with each leg of the race and the overall event conditions:

1. Swim Preparation (1.9 km in warm, calm waters) ๐ŸŠโ€โ™‚๏ธ
- The base endurance training will help you sustain a strong swim throughout the warm 84ยฐF (29ยฐC) water conditions.
- Technique refinement ensures efficiency in open water, crucial for navigating the buoys in a clockwise direction.
- VO2 Max and anaerobic threshold swim sets enhance your ability to maintain a steady pace without early fatigue.

2. Bike Readiness (90 km rolling two-loop course) ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธ
- The progressive training schedule builds strength for the rolling hills and endurance for sustained effort across the two loops.
- Anaerobic power training enhances your ability to handle short climbs and accelerations on Puerto Princesa South Road.
- Structured training peaks at 14 hours per week, simulating the demands of race day effort.

3. Run Performance (21.1 km three-loop course) ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ
- The gradual buildup from base endurance to race-specific pacing ensures you handle the steady uphill start without burning out.
- Threshold and power training aid in maintaining speed over the rolling terrain and adjusting to high temperatures (86ยฐF/30ยฐC).
- The plan includes brick workouts (bike-to-run transitions) to prepare you for running efficiently off the bike.

4. Heat Acclimation & Race Day Preparation ๐ŸŒž
- The structured approach ensures gradual adaptation to longer sessions, preventing heat exhaustion on race day.
- Strength and aerobic training help optimize energy efficiency, so you perform well despite the tropical climate.
- The 3/1 training cycle (3 weeks build, 1 week recovery) prevents overtraining, ensuring peak performance at the right time.
