Plan Description
This 44-week program is designed to prepare you for the Middle Distance Triathlon in Peguera Mallorca—aligning every session with the race’s swim, bike, and run challenges. From the warm, crystal-clear waters of Torà Beach to the technical climbs of the Serra de la Tramuntana and the vibrant beachfront run, you’ll be ready for every stage of race day.
✅ Course-Specific Swim Preparation – Build endurance for the two-lap 1.9 km swim with structured open-water sets and sighting drills to handle short beach runs between laps. Warm-water simulation workouts help you adapt for potential non-wetsuit conditions.
✅ Bike Power for Technical Terrain – Develop sustained climbing ability for the 500 m elevation per lap between km 1–25, while practicing gear changes and pacing for fast descents approaching 70 kph. Strength-endurance sessions mirror the rolling inland roads and coastal stretches.
✅ Run Durability for Multi-Surface Racing – Four-lap run training simulates frequent turns, pace changes, and surface shifts from asphalt to tile and boardwalk. Includes spectator-energy pacing strategies to thrive in a vibrant, crowded finish.
✅ Strength & Bone Health Focus – Targeted resistance sessions to maintain muscle mass, bone density, and joint stability—vital for senior triathletes.
✅ Aerobic Capacity & Speed Maintenance – VO₂ max intervals and tempo runs to keep your top-end speed sharp without overtraining.
✅ Technology-Ready – Fully compatible with Garmin, smartwatches, and training apps—track heart rate, power, and RPE seamlessly.
With a proven periodized structure—12 weeks of base training followed by 32 weeks of race-specific build—you’ll progress safely, avoid injury, and peak on race day. Strategic “B” and “C” tune-up races boost confidence, sharpen skills, and test your pacing before your A-race.
Whether this is your first Middle Distance Triathlon or a return to racing, this plan blends endurance training, strength work, and recovery so you can perform at your best—while enjoying the journey.
