Plan Description

Crush Your Half-Ironman Without Giving Up Your Life
Ready to tackle the 70.3 distance feeling strong, prepared, and confident? This comprehensive 19-week plan is crafted specifically for intermediate triathletes who want to build a bulletproof aerobic base and cross the finish line with a smile.
Is This Plan For You?
You have big triathlon dreams, but you also juggle work, family, and a packed schedule. You don't have time for "junk miles" or guesswork. You need a clear, adaptable roadmap that tells you exactly what to do and when to do it. If you're ready to train efficiently—starting at a manageable 9 hours a week and peaking at just under 14 hours—this is your blueprint for success.
Your Training Benefits
Precision Pacing: Workouts are strictly zone-based. Bike sessions use your Power (%FTP) and Run sessions use your Heart Rate (%THR) so you train at the exact right intensity to maximize fitness without burning out.
Bonus Strength & Core: Includes targeted, sport-specific flexibility and core strengthening routines to keep you resilient, powerful, and injury-free.
Dialed-In Zones: Get exclusive access to our FREE training tools to help you test and set your personalized training zones with complete accuracy.
Built-in Prep Races: The 19-week schedule includes a strategic Test Week, progressive Base & Build phases, plus integrated Sprint and 5150 (Olympic) race weeks to sharpen your pacing before your ultimate Half IM Race Day.
Prerequisites & Requirements
To ensure this plan is the perfect fit and to get the absolute most out of your hard work, please ensure you have the following:
Required Tech: A Power Meter for bike sessions and a Heart Rate Monitor for run sessions are mandatory to follow the structured workouts.
Testing Locations: Access to a 25m or 50m pool, an indoor bike trainer or Wattbike, and a standard 5km running route for your baseline fitness tests.
