Plan Description

Build Strength. Embrace Speed. Conquer Oceanside.

Racing the Half Distance Oceanside Triathlon requires more than just endurance โ€” it demands intelligent, race-specific preparation that mirrors the courseโ€™s unique terrain and conditions. Thatโ€™s why our 6-Month Intermediate Training Plan is purpose-built to help you perform at your best on this spectacular course.

๐ŸŒŠ Swim Strong in Oceanside Harbor
With an average water temperature of 61ยฐF (16ยฐC), the 1.2-mile swim in the sheltered harbor demands acclimation, efficient technique, and cold-water confidence. Our training plan integrates consistent open-water simulation, sighting drills, and stroke refinement, ensuring you arrive race-ready for the calm yet brisk harbor waters.

๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธ Tackle the Scenic Camp Pendleton Ride
The 56.2-mile bike leg through Camp Pendleton is both scenic and deceptively challenging. Expect strategic intervals, long aerobic rides, and hill simulations that mirror the baseโ€™s subtle elevation shifts. Strength endurance is the focus here โ€” training your legs to stay powerful from start to T2.

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ Dominate the Pier-to-Strand Run
The two-loop, 13.1-mile run course offers a fast profile with rolling segments. We prepare you for this with progressive tempo runs, elevation-specific intervals, and course-specific brick workouts to replicate the transitions and terrain youโ€™ll face โ€” especially the shifting elevation near the Oceanside Pier.

๐Ÿ”ฅ What to Expect from the Plan

Starts at 8 hours/week, building gradually to 12 hours

Emphasizes foundational endurance + tempo sessions

Integrates VO2 max intervals, anaerobic threshold work, and long bricks

Prioritizes recovery and technique across all three disciplines

๐Ÿ’ฅ Whether you're chasing a personal best or aiming to complete your first 70.3 with confidence, this plan is your blueprint for success. It's not just about crossing the finish line โ€” it's about owning the course and celebrating every stride, stroke, and spin.
