Plan Description

The Full Distance Triathlon Brazil in Florianópolis is one of the most breathtaking—and demanding—races on the global triathlon calendar. With a 2.4-mile swim in the crystal-clear Atlantic waters off Jurerê Beach, a 112-mile bike ride through rolling Brazilian hills, and a 26.2-mile coastal run in tropical heat and humidity, success demands more than grit—it requires intelligent, periodized preparation.

This 36-week Full Distance Triathlon Training Plan is built specifically for competitive Masters athletes (ages 40+) who want to perform at their peak in Florianópolis. Designed using the latest in exercise science, it prioritizes physiological adaptation, performance analytics, and sustainable progress—giving you every advantage when the cannon fires on race day.
