Plan Description

Ready to race your best at the Half Distance Triathlon Encarnacion Paraguay? This isn’t just another event—it’s a bold, scenic, and deceptively challenging course with a 1.9 km swim in the calm waters off San José Beach, a 90 km ride along the rolling hills of Costanera road, and a 21.1 km run finishing at the iconic Sambódromo. As an intermediate triathlete, you need more than just miles—you need strategy, structure, and purpose. That’s exactly what our 44-week Intermediate Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan delivers.

Designed for the Competitive Athlete Who Want More
You’ve got some experience, but now you’re aiming for a stronger finish, smoother transitions, and a smarter race strategy. This plan builds on your foundation, starting with a 12-week base phase that reinforces aerobic endurance and technical skill—perfect for dialing in your swim stroke and learning to stay efficient over long efforts.

Get Race-Specific, Get Results
The 32-week build phase is where performance sharpens. Structured bike workouts replicate the steady climbs and fast sections of Costanera. Run sessions mimic the two-loop format of the course, helping you master pacing, hydration, and mental focus. Weekly brick workouts improve your transitions so you’re not just surviving T2—you’re attacking it.

Train Smarter, Not Just Harder
From VO2 max intervals and tempo sets to open water swim drills and progressive strength training, this plan touches every system. You’ll peak at 14 hours per week, with every session aligned to your race-day goals. Heart rate and power-based workouts help you train with precision—no guesswork.

Support That Makes a Difference
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all spreadsheet. You get personalized email coaching support to keep you focused, answer your questions, and adjust when life gets in the way. Plus, access to exclusive videos for swim technique and strength training ensures you build form along with fitness.

Ready to Race Encarnacion Strong?
If you’re aiming to race smarter, stronger, and with confidence on this beautiful but demanding course, this is the plan that gets you there. Start your journey today with expert coaching and a proven strategy built for intermediate triathletes chasing their next big result.
