Plan Description

Experience the difference of a program engineered for the Half Distance Triathlon in San Salvador — a race that begins with a serene swim in Lake Ilopango, challenges you on the rolling Pan-American Highway, and finishes with a spirited, hilly run through the heart of the city. This 36-week advanced training blueprint prepares you for every unique element of this iconic course.

🏊 Swim Preparedness for Lake Ilopango – Your plan starts with technique-focused swim sessions and progressive endurance sets, ensuring you can glide efficiently through the calm, blue waters surrounded by volcanic cliffs.

🚴 Bike Strength for the Pan-American Highway – Targeted climbing acceleration intervals, anaerobic threshold training, and power sprints build the steady climbing power and high-speed endurance needed for the smooth but rolling 90 km bike leg.

🏃 Run Efficiency for San Salvador’s Hills – Hill repeats, VO₂ max sessions, and endurance aerobic mile training sharpen your ability to handle the elevation changes of the two-lap run course, so you can finish strong through the historic streets with energy to spare.

✅ 36-Week Structure – 12-week foundation phase + 24-week race-specific phase
✅ Progressive Workload – Starting at 9.5 hrs/week, peaking at 14.5 hrs/week
✅ 3/1 Training Cycle – Three weeks of focused build followed by one week of active recovery
✅ Functional + Traditional Strength – Build durability early, then shift to targeted triathlon power
✅ Diverse Training Methods – Aerobic base work, anaerobic power intervals, ATP-PC sprint sessions

This plan isn’t just about finishing — it’s about arriving at race day prepared for the specific swim, bike, and run challenges of the Half Distance Triathlon San Salvador. With personalized email coach support, you’ll have expert guidance every step of the way.
