Plan Description

Ready to take on the Half Distance Triathlon in Lapu-Lapu, Cebu? This 36-week training plan is designed specifically for Masters athletes over 40, giving you the endurance, strength, and speed needed to master the unique demands of this tropical race.

🏊‍♂️ Swim Prep for Mactan Newtown Beach: Training builds your open-water skills in warm, clear waters, just like the 1.9 km swim loop you’ll face. Expect workouts that improve your stroke efficiency and confidence in sea temperatures averaging 82°F (28°C).

🚴‍♂️ Bike Conditioning for a Fast, Flat 90 km Course: The plan develops your power and pacing for the flat, fast bike route from Lapu-Lapu City across the scenic CCLEX bridge. Targeted intervals and endurance rides prepare you for wide open roads and the sustained effort this course demands.

🏃‍♂️ Run Training for Punta Engaño Road’s Warm, Humid Conditions: Three loop run workouts mimic the 21.1 km race leg on the northeastern tip of Mactan Island. Heat adaptation strategies and endurance runs get you race-ready for daytime temps averaging 91°F (33°C).

✅ Key Benefits of This Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan:

✔️ Structured 36-Week Program: Progressively builds aerobic base, strength, and race-specific fitness

✔️ Phased Approach: Base phase to rebuild endurance, followed by focused build & peak phases to optimize race-day performance

✔️ Masters Athlete Focus: Heart rate and power-based workouts with 3:1 load-to-recovery ratio minimize injury risk

✔️ Integrated Swim Workouts with Video Support: Train smarter with guided drills tailored for open water success

✔️ Brick Workouts & VO2 Max Intervals: Enhance your ability to handle race pace and transition fatigue

✔️ Time-Efficient Training: Starts at ~7.5 hours/week, gradually peaks at 12 hours, perfect for busy athletes over 40

This Half Distance Triathlon training plan offers a science-backed, step-by-step system to help you thrive in the tropical heat and diverse terrain of Lapu-Lapu, Cebu. Whether stepping up from shorter races or returning to training, you’ll build the confidence and endurance needed to finish strong.
