Plan Description
Crush the Middle Distance Triathlon in Salou, Spain with Confidence – Backed by 36 Weeks of Structured Training and Expert Coach Support
Prepare to race strong at the Middle Distance Triathlon in Salou with a training plan built for competitive intermediate athletes like you. With its fast, flat bike course, shallow sea swim, and lively beachfront run, this iconic event demands smart preparation and precise execution — and that’s exactly what this 36-week plan delivers.
✅ Course-Specific Training Benefits:
🏊♂️ Salou Swim-Ready
Master the two-lap 1.9KM sea swim off Llevant Beach with targeted strength and open water technique work. You’ll be confident navigating shallow waves, beach starts, and building comfort without a wetsuit when temps are high.
🚴♂️ Built for Speed on the Bike
With only ~400m of elevation over 85KM and long, flat stretches, Salou is made for aero bars. This plan emphasizes power-based intervals, aero-position endurance, and race-paced TT efforts – exactly what you need to thrive on one of Europe’s fastest bike courses.
🏃♂️ Run Strong to the Finish
The four-lap, flat 21KM run along Salou’s lively beachfront rewards consistent pacing and mental focus. You’ll train with progressive brick sessions, tempo efforts, and threshold work to sustain speed deep into the final stretch – all while visualizing your red carpet finish.
🎯 Why Athletes Love This Plan:
✔️ Structured into Base + Specific Phases (12 + 24 Weeks)
✔️ Heart Rate & Power-Based Workouts for Precision Gains
✔️ Gradual Volume Build – From 7.5 hrs/week to ~12 hrs/week Peak
