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.
