Plan Description
The Half Distance Triathlon Taiwan course calls for precision, strength, and race-specific preparation. This 36-week training plan is tailored for athletes 40 and over who want to train with purpose and line up with confidence at Flowing Lake.
đ Swim Ready for Flowing Lake
The planâs early phase focuses on building swim-specific endurance and technique. Youâll gain the efficiency needed for the one-lap, 1.9 KM freshwater swim, with integrated open-water drills and video-based guidance that simulate the calm but fast conditions of Flowing Lake.
đ´ Build Power for the Coastal Ride
The scenic 90 KM bike along the Pacific Coastal Highway is fast but exposed to wind. With structured power-based intervals, tempo rides, and race-pace simulations, this plan builds the strength and rhythm youâll need to handle coastal headwinds and rolling terrain while holding speed.
đ Run Strong Along Seashore Park
The half-marathon run features a two-lap course mixing paved roads and shaded park trails. This plan prepares you with brick workouts and VOâ max intervals to dial in your pacing, handle heat, and finish fast through Taitungâs energized streets.
