Plan Description

🏊🚴🏃 Ready to elevate your triathlon game to new heights? Say hello to the Competitive Intermediate 44-Week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan!

Are you an ambitious, Competitive Intermediate triathlete hungry for victory in the Half Distance? If you've been craving that podium glory but lack the roadmap to get there, your search ends here. Our meticulously crafted program is tailored precisely for athletes like you.

Focused on your continual growth and peak performance, our plan is specifically designed for athletes who've graduated from Sprint and Olympic distances, now ready to conquer the challenge of a Half Distance triathlon. Whether your goal is a personal best or clinching a podium spot, we've got every aspect covered.

What makes us stand out? Our 44-week program offers an extended preparation period, incorporating both "B" and "C" racing events to hone your skills and fortify your endurance. And here's the kicker – no prior endurance training is necessary! We start from square one, guiding you through a comprehensive 12-week base plan before delving into the intensive 32-week Half Distance training phase.

Precision is paramount in our approach, with our plan meticulously structured around Power/& heart rate %, ensuring every workout is optimized for maximum effectiveness. All you need is a Garmin-type device to effortlessly sync your workouts and monitor your progress.

During the foundational base phase, we prioritize strength & conditioning, base endurance, and mastering swim techniques through detailed instructional videos. You'll also dive into structured running sessions and undertake functional threshold power testing (FTP), with V02 Interval bike sessions kicking off in week 7, all geared towards propelling your performance to new heights.

As you transition into the 32-week Half Distance training phase, expect a 3/1 structured workout rhythm for optimal recovery and growth. Get ready to intensify your training with a focus on base endurance, tempo training, open-water swimming, and progressive brick workouts. Continuous FTP testing every six weeks ensures you're constantly refining your capabilities. With increased V02 Interval Training, anaerobic threshold training, and track sessions, you'll push beyond your limits and unlock your full potential.

Don't just envision podium finishes – seize them with the Competitive Intermediate 44-Week HALF Distance Triathlon Training Plan. Ready to embrace the challenge? Let's embark on this transformative journey together! 🏆
