If your goal is to set a personal best, improve your age-group ranking, or race with greater confidence, this 36-Week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan prepares you for the specific demands of race day.
.
The program begins with a 12-week base phase focused on rebuilding aerobic fitness, improving swim technique, developing strength, and creating a durable endurance foundation. This is followed by a 24-week Half Distance Triathlon-specific build designed to improve race-day performance, pacing, and efficiency.
.
Built for the Half Distance Triathlon Barranquilla Course
.
The race starts with a 1.9 km swim at Puerto Mocho Beach where water temperatures average 81°F (27°C). Technique-focused swim sessions, endurance training, and open-water preparation help improve efficiency, confidence, and pacing in warm-water conditions.
.
The 90 km bike course travels along the rolling Circunvalar de la Prosperidad. Structured heart rate and power-based workouts, tempo rides, endurance sessions, and VO₂ Max intervals develop the aerobic capacity and sustained power needed to ride efficiently over changing terrain while conserving energy for the run.
.
The final 21 km run follows the Gran Malecón del Río past many of Barranquilla's iconic landmarks. Although the course is flat, race-day temperatures can reach 92°F (34°C). Progressive brick workouts, threshold training, race-pace sessions, and long-run development improve fatigue resistance and help you maintain pace when heat and accumulated fatigue begin to take their toll.
