Plan Description
The Middle Distance Triathlon in Florianópolis is an unforgettable challenge, combining a warm sunrise swim at Jurerê Internacional beach, a flat yet wind-exposed two-loop bike along the island’s stunning coastline, and a lively three-loop run to a high-energy finish line. This 24-week training plan is meticulously designed to prepare you for every detail of the race, giving you the confidence, fitness, and strategy to perform at your peak.
⚠️ Prerequisite Training Required – Before beginning, you should have a solid aerobic base to handle an opening week of 9 hours, including anaerobic threshold intervals and VO₂ max sessions. The plan progressively builds to a peak of 14.5 hours in week 19, so coming in with consistent training experience is essential to maximize results.
✅ Course-Specific Swim Mastery – Focused open-water sessions, sighting drills, and warm-water pacing work prepare you for a fast 1.9 km swim start. Swim workouts sync directly to compatible watches, so you can train hands-free in the pool.
✅ Bike Power for Coastal Winds – Structured power-based intervals and aerodynamic position training ensure you can handle the flat 90 km bike course and shifting coastal breezes, maintaining speed without overexertion.
✅ Run Strength & Loop Simulation – Brick workouts and repeated loop training mirror the flat 21.1 km course, helping you maintain rhythm and pace deep into the run while thriving off the vibrant crowd energy.
✅ Strength & Conditioning Integration – Functional and conventional strength training enhance muscle endurance, improve transitions, and reduce injury risk over the full 24 weeks.
✅ Science-Driven Progression – A 3:1 training cycle (three focused weeks, one recovery week) optimizes adaptation while avoiding burnout. You’ll train using precise heart rate and power zones for measurable improvement.
With personalized email coach support, you’ll have expert guidance every step of the way—adjusting sessions, troubleshooting challenges, and fine-tuning your race strategy so you arrive on the start line ready to perform.
