The 8 week Portocolum 111 training plan incorporates the trisutto training principles (which are explained in the plan introduction section), to maximise your training time and results. 

Program duration is 8 weeks, plus race week. Race week taper and advice on post race recovery are included. 
 
Assuming an existing triathlon fitness where athletes could comfortably complete an Olympic (Standard) Triathlon, we recommend a 8 week dedicated training plan as preparation for the Triathlon Portocolom 111. Our goal is:
1. To have the swim fitness that allows us to start the bike feeling fresh
2. Bike strength and endurance that allows us to run well after a challenging bike course
3. Develop the run strength and technique to run to our ability.
