Plan Description
This isn’t just another race—it’s a journey through one of Greece’s most breathtaking coastal regions. And to perform your best, you need a solid base of endurance and a training plan built for results.
Our 24-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan is strategically crafted to prepare you for the course's unique demands—calm open water, scenic rolling hills, and a flat, fast run. Designed with performance in mind, this plan helps you arrive race-ready and confident.
✅ Immediate High-Level Training
Begin with purpose: Week one launches with 9 hours of training focused on Anaerobic Threshold and VO₂ Max intervals—ideal for building stamina for the open water swim and sustained bike efforts.
✅ Course-Specific Endurance Preparation
From swimming in the calm, clear Ionian waters to riding through olive groves and pine forests, you’ll mimic race-day intensity through interval sessions, long rides, and brick workouts that match Costa Navarino’s terrain.
✅ Structured Periodization (3/1 Cycle)
Build resilience with three weeks of targeted training followed by one recovery week—perfect for peak adaptation while preventing burnout. Plan includes guidance on inserting a “B” race to fine-tune your pacing strategy.
✅ Train Smarter with Data
All workouts are built around heart rate and power zones. Upload to your smart device for seamless integration and precision tracking—especially helpful for the fast, flat run through Gialova and the Divari Lagoon.
✅ Strength and Technique Focus
Functional and traditional strength training sessions are built into the plan to support your swim, bike, and run mechanics. Refine your swim stroke and power output to handle race-day transitions with ease.
✅ Progressive Performance Gains
Evolve your fitness through specific phases—boost ATP-PC system power for speed bursts, extend aerobic endurance for the 90 km ride, and nail run pacing across the 21.1 km course with targeted tempo and threshold runs.
✅ Built for Triathletes Like You
Get the benefits of race-specific brick workouts, detailed swim drills (including open water training), and watch-compatible swim sets so you can stay focused—no poolside printouts required.
🚀 Personal Email Coaching Support Included
Your training comes with dedicated email coaching support, ensuring you stay on track and adjust when life happens.
