Plan Description
The stunning beauty of the Half Distance Triathlon Costa Navarino — from the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea to the rolling olive groves and wildlife-rich Divari Lagoon — deserves more than just basic preparation. It deserves a plan that honors your ambition, supports your journey, and delivers results.
That’s exactly what our 44-week Half Distance Triathlon Beginner Training Plan is built for. Whether you're starting fresh or returning to the sport, this plan meets you where you are — and takes you where you dream of going.
💥 12-Week Base Phase – Say goodbye to guesswork. We begin with a smart, focused base-building phase designed to develop your aerobic engine, strength, and durability. You'll gain confidence in the water with form-focused swim workouts and start laying the foundation for powerful, efficient movement.
🔥 32-Week Performance Phase – From week 13 onward, you’ll steadily increase training hours — starting at 9.5 and peaking at 14 — with a strong focus on endurance, V02 max intervals, and race-specific preparation across all disciplines.
✅ Perfect for the Costa Navarino Course:
🏊 Swim Preparedness: Master calm open-water conditions with video-guided drills and technique sessions.
🚴 Bike Strength: Structured RPE and heart rate training builds strength and rhythm for Costa Navarino’s rolling, beautifully paved roads.
🏃 Run Resilience: Flat, fast course? You’ll be ready with speed work and threshold runs designed for pacing and late-race grit.
✨ Strategic “B” and “C” Tune-Up Races – Thoughtfully placed throughout your journey, these key races help you fine-tune nutrition, pacing, and race-day mindset — so you arrive in Costa Navarino mentally sharp and physically ready.
💪 Strength Workouts Made for Triathletes – No fluff. Just effective strength sessions tailored for endurance athletes, helping you prevent injury and improve power.
