Plan Description

Set on the lush, eco-friendly Chongming Island—just 90 minutes from downtown Shanghai—the Half Distance Triathlon Shanghai is a race like no other. Swim in the serene lake at Bright Tian Yuan, ride the fast, flat Beiyan Highway, and run around a scenic lake course—all surrounded by wildlife and greenery. This is your chance to race in nature’s finest setting with a course built for speed and success.

🏁 Dominate with the 24-Week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan
Whether you're racing for a personal best or aiming to reach the podium, this high-performance plan is built for committed age group athletes who want to finish strong and compete at their peak.

🔍 Why This Plan Works for the Half Distance Triathlon Shanghai:
Chongming Island offers a flat, fast course—but don’t mistake that for easy. Heat, pacing, and consistency are key. Our plan prepares you to handle every element with confidence.

🔥 Here’s how we set you up for success:
✅ Starts Strong: Week one kicks off with a 25-minute anaerobic threshold session—no fluff, just performance from the start. A solid base is required.
✅ Smart Structure: Based on a proven 3:1 mesocycle format (3 weeks load, 1 week recovery), it prevents burnout and accelerates gains.
✅ Precision-Driven: Built around heart rate and power zones, each session is designed for Garmin or compatible devices—ensuring you stay in the right training zone at all times.
✅ Complete Development: From aerobic base and tempo work to sprint efforts and open water skills, we leave nothing to chance.
✅ Run Gait Video Analysis: AI-powered gait analysis helps refine your form, improve economy, and reduce injury risk.

📈 Progression You Can Feel:
Your training scales from under 10 hours a week to a peak of 18 hours by week 19—so you're fully prepared for race day conditions in Shanghai’s warm, humid climate.

🏊‍♂️ Race-Ready Workouts Include:
✅ Open water simulation & swim drills
✅ High-intensity interval rides on terrain similar to Beiyan Highway
✅ Progressive brick sessions for race-day stamina
✅ Precision-paced long runs around Bright Tian Yuan-style loops
