Plan Description

Preparing for the Half Distance Triathlon in Lapu-Lapu, Cebu, Philippines requires a training plan tailored to the unique challenges of this tropical course — warm open water swims at Mactan Newtown Beach, a fast and flat 90 km bike ride including the iconic CCLEX Bridge, and a humid 21.1 km run along Punta Engaño Road. This 44-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan is specifically designed for athletes aged 60 and above, helping you build endurance, strength, and race-day confidence in a safe and sustainable way.

✅ Beginner-Friendly Base Building: The initial 12 weeks gradually develop your aerobic capacity and muscular endurance, essential for swimming in warm 82°F water and maintaining energy on the bike and run.

✅ Sustainable Endurance Development: Long, low-intensity sessions mimic race-day pacing to prepare you for the humid 91°F conditions on race day, reducing injury risk and avoiding burnout.

✅ Strength & Bone Health Support: Targeted resistance training preserves muscle and bone density, helping you stay strong and resilient through the race’s demanding bike and run legs.

✅ Aerobic Capacity & Speed Maintenance: High-intensity interval sessions improve your VO2 max, enabling you to sustain faster speeds on the flat bike course and during the run loops on Punta Engaño Road.

✅ Neuromuscular Coordination: Drills improve your swim technique and smooth transitions, essential for efficient movement in the open water and quick gear changes.

✅ Technology-Integrated Training: Compatible with Garmin and popular smartwatches, this plan tracks heart rate, power, and perceived effort to personalize your progress.

✅ Injury Prevention Focus: Built-in recovery and strength sessions reduce joint stress, allowing you to train consistently and arrive at race day healthy.

With this structured, periodized Half Distance Triathlon training plan, you will confidently tackle the swim in clear tropical waters, power across the scenic CCLEX Bridge on your bike, and conquer the warm, humid run course with stamina and poise.
