Plan Description
Our 36-Week Advanced Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is built for athletes who crave a strategic edge. It's not just a schedule—it's a personalized roadmap to your strongest, fastest race yet.
Whether you're drawn to the calm, crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea, the rolling hills through ancient olive groves, or the vibrant coastal run through Gialova Village, the Half Distance Triathlon in Costa Navarino demands specific preparation—and this plan delivers exactly that.
💡 Why This Plan Prepares You Perfectly for Costa Navarino:
✅ Swim-Ready Confidence: Begin your race strong in the pristine, calm bay with focused swim technique and open water sessions that mimic Costa Navarino’s single-loop layout.
✅ Bike Power for Rolling Terrain: Ride stronger through the two-loop, 90 km course with targeted interval work, hill repeats, and sustained endurance rides designed for fast, scenic terrain like Messinia’s paved roads and elevation changes.
✅ Run Smart & Fast: Train specifically for a flat and fast 21.1 km course with progressive long runs, aerobic builds, and race-pace sessions that mirror the terrain through the Gialova fishing village and lagoon trails.
✅ Strategic Training Structure: Built on a 3:1 cycle—three focused training weeks followed by one active recovery week—so you build fitness without burnout.
✅ Progressive Build: Start at 9.5 hours/week and peak at 14.5 hours/week, giving your body time to adapt for high performance on race day.
✅ Strength & Endurance Synergy: Early emphasis on functional strength transitions into traditional lifting paired with swim, bike, and run endurance—prepping your body for the demands of race day.
✅ Advanced Physiological Development:
VO2 Max & Anaerobic Threshold Intervals
Power Sprint & ATP-PC Focus

Climbing Acceleration Drills to build leg strength to conquer the rolling elevation gains 🚴♀️
