Plan Description
The Middle Distance Triathlon in Florianópolis is a fast yet demanding event, and this 24-week senior-specific program prepares you for every challenge the course presents—without compromising health or recovery.
🏊 Swim (1.9 km – Calm, Warm Waters)
Your plan’s swim sessions include open-water practice, sighting drills, and sustained aerobic intervals so you can thrive in the warm, calm waters of Jurerê Internacional. By race day, you’ll have the endurance for a strong, controlled swim and the technique to minimize wasted energy in a mass start.
🚴 Bike (90 km – Flat, Coastal & Wind Exposure)
With long, steady rides and power-based training, you’ll develop the stamina to maintain speed over the flat, fast loops while managing potential coastal winds. Strategic pacing workouts simulate race intensity, ensuring you can sustain effort without fading in the latter stages.
🏃 Run (21.1 km – Flat, Three Loops, High Energy)
Your run training blends aerobic conditioning with race-pace intervals, perfectly matching the flat, repetitive nature of the three-loop course. Strength work supports joint health and running economy so you can hold form in the lively, crowd-filled final stretch.
