Plan Description
Prepare to thrive at the stunning and demanding Half Distance Triathlon in Mogán Gran Canaria with our expertly designed 44-week Beginner Training Plan—purpose-built to match the course’s unique terrain and test your winter training.
With its two-lap ocean swim starting at Anfi del Mar Beach, the race demands strong open-water skills and comfort with re-entry transitions. Our plan builds confidence from day one:
✅ Technique-focused swim drills & video instruction
✅ Gradual progression for first-timers or returning athletes
✅ Specific sessions designed to mimic course swim conditions
The 90km bike course is no joke—four laps packed with sharp climbs, fast technical descents, and breathtaking ravine views. To tackle this dynamic terrain, we’ve integrated:
🚴 Targeted strength training for climbing power
🚴♀️ Heart rate & RPE-based bike workouts to boost endurance and control
🚴♂️ VO2 interval sessions to handle surges and steep efforts
The 21km seaside run winds through four laps with inspiring ocean views—but it's mentally tough, especially after a challenging bike. That’s why our plan includes:
🏃 Progressive long runs for aerobic strength
🏃♂️ Tempo and threshold sessions to build mental resilience and pacing strategy
🏃♀️ RPE/HR-based run workouts to ensure smart effort on race day
Whether it’s the early base-building or the final peak phase, every week in this plan is strategically laid out to support mastery of the Mogán Gran Canaria Half Distance Triathlon course. You’ll start with 9.5 hours per week, building steadily to 14 hours—safely, intelligently, and effectively.
💥 Bonus Features Include:
✔️ Strength training for beginners—no gym required
✔️ “B” and “C” races to test fitness and reduce race-day anxiety
✔️ Ongoing coach support via email for training feedback and motivation
This isn't just a plan—it’s your roadmap to achieving your best at one of Europe’s most scenic and challenging Half Distance Triathlons.
Step up and train smart—unlock your potential today with coach-supported guidance every step of the way.
