AJ Baucco Coaching: Half Iron, 16 weeks, Race Goal Time: 5.5 - 6.5 Hours

All AJ Baucco Coaching training plans are created using the same time-tested and proven training principles that have guided our Full-Service Coaching athletes to thousands of individual PR’s. If you’re ready to take your training to the next level, this is your ticket.

This plan, peaking at 16 hours of weekly volume, is created specifically for an athlete targeting a half-iron distance race with at least 16 weeks of preparation time and has a realistic expectation of completing their race between 5.5-6.5 hours.  It’s recommended that an athlete has some base fitness and is capable of completing a 2,500 meter/yard swim, a 2:15 cycling workout and a 1:15 run before beginning this plan.  As long as you can meet those thresholds, this is the plan for you!

This plan includes:

• Three weeks of sport-specific strength training


• Five weeks of build training, including speed work


• Two weeks of overload training


• Three weeks of taper and race preparation


• Recovery weeks separating each training block

All AJ Baucco Coaching training plans are created to cater to the lifestyle of a busy triathlete.  Long workouts are scheduled for the weekends, and weekday workouts are kept to the minimum volume to deliver the necessary stress for fitness adaptation.

Once this plan is purchased, it belongs to you.  It can be used in full, in part, started, stopped, recycled – it’s yours and it can be used over and over, if you desire.  In addition, it comes with a thorough “Getting Started” document which details how to set training zones. It also includes a terminology glossary, fueling guidelines, and other useful information. All training plan athletes are eligible to join our private “Advice Forum” Facebook group. This group is monitored by our staff of certified coaches and they are available to answer your questions throughout your training journey.  In addition, training plan athletes are eligible for big discounts on our popular “a la carte” services such as: heart rate analysis and zone setting, individualized fueling plans, and pre and post-race analysis which includes consultations with one of our certified coaches.
