Half Distance Triathlon Peru – 36-Week Advanced Training Blueprint for Competitive Age Groupers

Race Peru’s scenic coastline with confidence, speed, and strength. The Half Distance Triathlon Peru in Lima is known for its fast, flat course and ideal race-day conditions—making it the perfect setting for a personal best. To fully capitalize on this course's potential, you need a training plan that’s engineered for success. Introducing the 36-Week Advanced Training Blueprint, built for serious amateur triathletes ready to take on the demands of a Half Distance Triathlon with purpose and precision.

This comprehensive plan begins with a 12-week foundational phase focusing on functional strength and aerobic base development. Then, the next 24 weeks target high-performance conditioning specifically designed for the Half Distance Triathlon format: a 1.2-mile swim in the calm waters of Agua Dulce Beach, a fast 56-mile bike ride on Lima’s closed coastal highway, and a flat, three-loop 13.1-mile run with ocean views.

Training is structured in a strategic 3-to-1 cycle—three weeks of progressive overload followed by one week of recovery—to optimize adaptation and reduce injury risk. You'll start at 9.5 hours per week and build gradually to a peak of 14.5 hours, ensuring you're ready for race day without burnout.

What sets this plan apart is its science-based, race-specific focus:

Endurance Aerobic Mile Training to sustain strong effort across all three legs

VO2 Max Interval Workouts for improved oxygen delivery and speed

Anaerobic Threshold & Power Sessions to master the flat, fast course profile

Climbing Accelerations & Sprint Intervals to build muscle recruitment and efficiency

ATP-PC System Sprints to enhance short-burst power critical in the final push to the finish

Every session, from swim drills in open water simulation to brick workouts for seamless transitions, is purpose-built for the unique terrain and pacing demands of the Half Distance Triathlon Peru.

You’ve set your goal. Now equip yourself with the training plan that matches your ambition.
