Build Your Half IM Foundation Without Sacrificing Your Life

Ready to confidently tackle your next Half IM without letting training take over your busy schedule? This 10-week Base Training plan is designed specifically for time-crunched triathletes who want to build an unstoppable endurance foundation while balancing work, family, and real life.

Is This Plan For You?

Building a massive aerobic engine shouldn't mean sacrificing your personal life. If you are preparing for a Half IM triathlon (1.9km Swim, 90km Bike, 21.1km Run) but are limited to 8 to 12 hours a week, this plan is your perfect starting point.

Base training is perhaps the single most important phase of the year—yet it is the one most often neglected. This flexible, adaptable plan focuses entirely on improving your aerobic fitness and sport-specific strength. It prepares your body for the rigors of heavier training phases to come, completely free from intimidating rigidness or early-season burnout.

Your Training Benefits

• Precision Workouts: Cycling sessions are prescribed using Power (%FTP) and runs use Heart Rate (%THR), ensuring you train at the exact right intensity to maximize your limited time.

  
  



• Smart Progression: Starting at a manageable 8 hours and peaking just over 12 hours, the clear 10-week structure (Week 1 Test, two 4-week base blocks, and a Week 10 Re-test) safely tracks and builds your fitness.

  
  



• Bonus Resilience: Included sport-specific flexibility and core strength plans keep your body resilient, balanced, and healthy.

  
  



• Zero Guesswork: Gain exclusive access to our FREE training tools to accurately calculate and set up your personalized training zones.
