Plan Description
The Middle Distance Triathlon Taiwan is a stunning Half Distance Triathlon featuring a calm 1.9 km swim in Flowing Lake, a scenic 90 km bike ride along the Pacific Coastal Highway, and a challenging 21.1 km run through Taitung’s city and forest parks. This 44-week Intermediate Training Plan is expertly designed to prepare you for every aspect of the race, helping you build the endurance, speed, and strength needed to perform at your best.
✅ Complete Swim, Bike, and Run Preparation
Starting with a 12-week base phase, this plan builds your aerobic foundation, essential for the calm, clear lake swim where technique and confidence matter. The bike workouts focus on the rolling coastal 90 km course, developing power and handling for flat and mildly hilly terrain with potential coastal winds. The run sessions prepare you for the two-lap 21.1 km course on paved roads and shaded trails, improving your stamina and pacing.
✅ Gradual Volume Increase for Peak Performance
Weekly training increases from 9 to 14 hours, balancing endurance, tempo, and interval workouts. This steady progression ensures your body adapts safely and effectively for the bike’s varied terrain and the run’s mix of urban and natural settings.
✅ Strength and Technique Development
Incorporating strength training and swimming drills, the plan enhances efficiency and reduces injury risk. Brick workouts prepare you for smooth transitions between swim, bike, and run, simulating race-day demands.
