Plan Description
Train with Purpose for the Half Distance Triathlon Taiwan
Flowing Lake’s calm, clear waters. The rolling Pacific Highway bike course. The shaded, vibrant run through Seashore Park and Taitung Forest Park. Every detail of the Half Distance Triathlon Taiwan demands a plan built for precision, progression, and performance—and this Intermediate 24-Week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan delivers exactly that.
🌊 Swim-Ready from Day One
The one-lap, 1.9 KM swim in Flowing Lake is fast, flat, and ideal for rhythm. This plan includes video-based swim drills that build efficiency and open water confidence, perfectly mirroring race-day conditions. You’ll glide through that pristine water with ease and speed.
🚴♂️ Bike Strong on Coastal Roads
The 90 KM ride along the Pacific Coastal Highway offers smooth terrain with scenic views—and the occasional coastal wind. Our structured heart rate and power-based bike workouts prepare you for real-world riding conditions. You’ll develop endurance and control on flats, rolling hills, and windy stretches so you can hold pace and stay strong all the way to T2.
🏃♂️ Run with Strength and Strategy
The two-lap 21.1 KM run course mixes urban energy with nature’s calm. You’ll be prepared for both thanks to our brick sessions, tempo runs, and threshold intervals, building your ability to run strong off the bike and manage surges late in the race.
