Plan Description
FULL DISTANCE TRIATHLON TAIWAN - 36-WEEK FULL DISTANCE BEGINNER TRIATHLON PLAN
Compete at your best on the breathtaking islands of Penghu with a training plan built for the extreme demands of the Full Distance Triathlon Taiwan. Known for its Hawaii-like tropical weather, high winds, and scenic but challenging course across Penghu Great Bridge and iconic coastal landmarks, this race demands more than just endurance — it demands precision preparation.
Our 36-Week Full Distance Beginner Triathlon Plan is crafted to match the unique conditions you'll face. Start with a powerful 12-week foundation phase designed to transform your swim technique and endurance. Through step-by-step video tutorials and structured drills, you'll build the skills and confidence needed for Taiwan’s two-lap, open-water swim.
As the weeks progress, training evolves strategically — starting from 4.5 hours and ramping up to 6 hours per week — ensuring steady, sustainable improvement. By week 12, you’ll be ready to tackle the ocean currents and beach exits like a pro.
Then, embark on a 24-week specialized build phase, targeting the rugged demands of Taiwan's rolling 180 km bike course and the flat but energy-draining marathon run. Training hours will grow from 7.5 to 14.5 hours weekly, incorporating advanced brick sessions, heart-pounding tempo rides, open-water simulations, and strategic long runs that mimic race-day conditions.
This plan is not just about logging miles — it’s about smart, progressive endurance training. With carefully designed workouts, aid station strategy integration, and mental fortitude development, you’ll be fully prepared to handle Taiwan’s humidity, the powerful ocean breezes, and the grind of multi-loop courses.
Imagine crossing the finish line strong — fueled by the dedication you built week after week.
