Half distance triathlon training program
Half distance triathlon training program
Length
16 Weeks
Plan Description
This half distance program is for the experienced endurance triathlete who is stepping back into the 1/2 distance, possibly after a break from the longer distance or simply because they want to add some speed to their program. It assumes a higher than beginner level of fitness but is still an achievable program which can be easily meshed into the busy life of a family/work day.
The program has been designed to have a strong swim focus with 4 honest weekly sets around 3200m each. Long bike day builds steadily to peak at a 3 hour 45-minute long ride. It's long run day also builds steadily towards a 2 hours 45 minutes long run. The biggest week of the program is 16 hours and 45 minutes but this does not occur until week 14 and there is a gradual build towards this mammoth week.
The program has been written and designed by a 6 times Long distant triathlete, 2 time Ultraman athlete. The author also runs a coaching business for multisport athletes and will open places for any athlete who want to be coached by an experienced Ultraman finisher.
As always please do not hesitate to email me if you have any questions about this training program.
