Plan Description

Your 24 Week Half Distance Triathlon Plan from a Level 3 British Triathlon Coach

Welcome to your training plan!

This training programme is designed to guide you through a full 24wks of training & be prepared ready for race day at a half distance triathlon. The half distance is a major physical challenge & it is very important that you are ready to undergo the training. We advise anybody taking part in an event like a half to be in good health, seek advice from your GP if you are in anyway unsure of your physical readiness to complete the training and the race. Do not underestimate what it takes to complete a half distance triathlon, be well prepared by following the training programme closely and spend time blending the training into your lifestyle.

This programme is a 24 wk programme, this means that it is a schedule to lead all the way up to race day and is ideally for those athletes who have some prior experience of triathlon.

The Plan Includes:

- Swim, Bike, Run & Transition Sessions (Bricks)
- Strength and Conditioning sessions to help you prevent injuries from a NASM Certified Personal Trainer
- Train to RPE or Heart Rate or Power
- Power sessions for the bike so you can use with Zwift, Garmin etc
- Access to your coach via email
- Training & Racing Tips

The programme is broken down into 3 main phases that help you to progress physically & the objectives of each phase are explained in more detail prior to each phase. The phases are namely, Base, Build & Peak/Taper.

The programme is designed to explain each period, each week & each session in detail. The layout of the programme shows you each week in turn, where possible you should stick to the structure as it has been laid out in the best possible nature for you to physically train. The schedule is based on an athlete having more available training time at weekends.

There is 1 REST day per week, this should be a day of complete rest, no exercise!

This programme does not include any training races, however you are strongly encouraged to take part in some training races as an opportunity to experiment with equipment, clothing, nutrition & race pace strategies. When preparing for a half you should consider using an Olympic distance race as a warm up, this should be done approximately 4-6wks before race day, you are also encouraged to think about cyclo-sportives as a way to boost your cycling.
Over this distance the long training sessions and BRICK workouts are just as crucial as racing.
