Plan Description
If you're dreaming of conquering the Half Distance Triathlon in Galveston, Texas, this is your moment. With its flat, PR-friendly course, scenic views of the Gulf, and warm southern hospitality, Galveston offers the perfect blend of performance and paradise. Whether this is your first triathlon or you're returning to the sport after a break, our Beginner’s Six-Month Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is tailored to guide you confidently to the finish line.
Why This Plan Works for Galveston
The Galveston course is fast—but it demands strategic preparation. Our plan is purpose-built to help you thrive in the unique conditions of this coastal race:
🏊♂️ Prepare for Open Water: With targeted swim workouts focused on form, endurance, and open-water skills, you'll be ready for the calm but salty 1.2-mile swim in Offats Bayou.
🚴♀️ Train for Speed on the Flats: The bike course is a 56-mile, flat, out-and-back along the Gulf Coast. We integrate structured interval training and heart rate zone sessions to build sustainable speed and power—ideal for Galveston's coastal winds and long straightaways.
🏃♂️ Master the Loops: The 13.1-mile run course loops through Moody Gardens. Our plan includes multi-loop simulation runs and race-day pacing strategies to keep you mentally sharp and physically steady through every lap.
What You’ll Gain
✅ Progressive Workouts: From Week 1’s approachable 7-hour schedule to peak weeks of 12 hours, each phase builds endurance without burnout.
✅ Foundational Strength Training: Weekly routines build injury-resistant muscles and efficient form, guided by video demonstrations.
✅ Swim, Bike & Run Drills: Enhance performance across all three disciplines with targeted technique sessions and conditioning blocks.
✅ Smart Structuring: Training based on RPE and Heart Rate helps you dial into your body’s signals and avoid overtraining.
✅ Coach Support: Questions? Need tweaks? You’ll have access to dedicated coaching assistance via email throughout your plan.
