Plan Description
The Half Distance Triathlon Valdivia Chile features a cool-water river swim, a scenic but fast countryside bike ride, and a flat, picturesque run through Valdivia’s city center. This 36-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan prepares senior triathletes (60+) to meet the course demands with strength, endurance, and confidence — even if you’re coming back from a break.
Here’s how the plan aligns perfectly with Valdivia’s course:
✅ Cold-Water Swim Prep
Structured swim sessions with video-based drills help you build confidence and form for the 1.9 km Calle-Calle River swim. The plan includes open water skill progression during the Build Phase to prepare you for race-day conditions and wetsuit comfort in 14°C water.
✅ Endurance and Speed for the Rolling Bike Course
The 90 km ride through meadows and rivers, with 1,400 ft elevation gain, requires consistent pacing and short bursts of hill power. This plan delivers with power-based intervals, brick sessions, and VO2 max efforts that simulate Valdivia’s terrain — giving you the tools to maintain strong speed throughout.
✅ Flat Run Readiness for a Fast Finish
The 21.1 km flat run through iconic city bridges demands endurance, muscle resilience, and sharp pacing. The plan emphasizes aerobic endurance and race-pace intervals, while neuromuscular drills enhance efficiency for a strong finish in Valdivia’s city center.
✅ Senior Athlete Focus
With its 2:1 work-to-recovery structure, functional strength training, and volume progression from 7.5 to 12 hours per week, this plan respects the recovery and energy needs of athletes 60 and over — while still pushing you to your peak.
💡 Whether you’re aiming to hit a personal best or complete the race strong, this science-based Half Distance Triathlon training plan is your path to success in Valdivia.
