Why This Training Plan Supports Your Success at the Jönköping Half Distance Triathlon

This 36-week training plan is built to specifically address those demands through science-based methods and age-aware training structure—maximizing your ability to race strong, recover efficiently, and enjoy the race experience.
🌊 Swim-Specific Benefits
With a 1.9 km swim in calm, cool waters averaging 68°F (20°C), the plan includes:
✅ Progressive swim workouts with form-focused video drills to enhance stroke economy
✅ Cold water acclimatization strategies to manage the thermoregulatory load on race day
✅ Threshold swim sessions to simulate race pace and manage energy across the full distance

✅ Power-based intervals to build strength and cadence efficiency on hilly terrain
✅ Long aerobic rides that mirror course demands while protecting aging joints
