Plan Description
Preparing for the Full Distance Triathlon Portugal requires a training plan designed to develop your endurance, strength, and race-specific skills. Our comprehensive Full Distance Triathlon training plan is meticulously crafted to prepare you for the unique demands of Cascais — from the rolling 3.8 km swim in Cascais Bay, the breathtaking 180 km bike course through the Portuguese Riviera and Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, to the coastal 42.2 km marathon with its challenging elevation and electrifying finish at Marina de Cascais.
Here’s how this plan equips you for race day:
✅ Progressive Endurance Building: Starting with a focused 12-week foundation phase, the plan gradually increases your weekly training load from 4.5 to 8 hours, culminating in a tough brick endurance workout that simulates the continuous effort needed during the Full Distance Triathlon swim-to-bike transition.
✅ Specialized Full Distance Training: The 32-week second phase elevates your preparation with tailored bike, swim, and run sessions peaking at 16 hours weekly. This structured progression mirrors the intensity and volume you’ll face on race day, including key race simulation sessions and timed efforts.
✅ Multifaceted Athletic Development: From mastering open water swimming techniques to incorporating VO2 max and anaerobic threshold workouts, this plan hones your speed and stamina. Strength training and technical drills improve muscle resilience and efficiency, critical for conquering the 180 km bike ride and the demanding coastal marathon.
✅ Expert Guidance and Support: Access instructional videos for swimming and strength exercises that build confidence in every discipline. Personalized coaching through email support ensures your training adapts to your individual progress, keeping you on track to meet your Full Distance Triathlon goals.
✅ Mental and Physical Transformation: This plan is more than workouts—it’s a journey to push your limits, develop mental toughness, and experience the thrill of crossing the finish line at the Full Distance Triathlon Portugal.
