Plan Description

If you’re targeting the Half Distance Triathlon in Encarnación, Paraguay, our Intermediate 36-Week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is built to help you perform at your best on race day—whether your goal is to finish strong, set a personal best, or land on the age group podium.

🌊 Swim Confidence at San José Beach
The plan’s 12-week base phase develops foundational swim strength and technique, helping you navigate the calm waters of San José Beach with control and efficiency. As the race draws closer, open water sessions simulate conditions at Bolik Pier, so you’re mentally and physically prepared for a smooth start.

🚴 Conquer the Rolling Costanera Course
With over 3,000 ft of elevation on the 90 km bike leg, this training plan incorporates targeted strength endurance rides, tempo intervals, and race-specific simulations to build the resilience and power you need to tackle those rolling hills—twice. Heart rate and power-based workouts ensure you train precisely for the demands of the scenic Costanera route.

🏃 Run Strong to the Sambódromo Finish
The final 21.1 km run loops along Encarnación’s iconic waterfront. To get you ready, this plan features progressive brick workouts and speed-endurance sessions that simulate race fatigue. By building up your stamina and pacing, you’ll arrive at the finish line with strength and confidence.
