Plan Description

Training for the Half Distance Triathlon in Lapu-Lapu, Cebu demands a smart, structured approach that prepares you for its unique challenges: warm open-water swimming, a fast, flat bike course including the iconic CCLEX bridge, and a hot, humid run along Punta Engaño Road. This comprehensive 44-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan is expertly designed to get you race-ready, especially if you’re a Masters athlete aged 40 and above.

✅ Build Endurance in Warm Conditions
The plan starts with a 12-week base phase focused on swim technique and general endurance, perfect for adapting to the warm, 82°F waters of Mactan Newtown Beach and preparing your body for sustained aerobic effort.

✅ Master the Bike Course with Speed and Efficiency
During the 32-week triathlon-specific phase, you’ll perform targeted bike workouts, including power intervals and pacing strategies to handle the fast, flat 90 km route across Lapu-Lapu City and the CCLEX bridge — helping you maintain high speed on wide, open roads.

✅ Run Strong Despite Heat and Humidity
The plan includes run sessions designed to build heat tolerance and muscular endurance, critical for the three-loop 21.1 km run on Punta Engaño Road, where temperatures average 91°F with tropical humidity.

✅ Prevent Injuries and Build Muscular Resilience
Strength training tailored for Masters athletes enhances durability, reducing injury risk while boosting your muscular endurance—key for maintaining form through the swim, bike, and run.

✅ Train Smarter with Technology Integration
Workouts come with detailed guidance on heart rate zones, Rate of Perceived Effort (RPE), and power data. The plan is compatible with Garmin and other training devices, helping you train efficiently and track progress.

✅ Sustain Progress with Structured Periodization
Following a 3:1 build-to-recovery week cycle ensures you adapt sustainably without burnout, keeping you fresh for race day.

This 44-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan offers everything you need to confidently conquer Lapu-Lapu’s swim, bike, and run challenges. Whether you’re new to triathlon or aiming to improve your personal best, this plan guides you every step of the way.
