Plan Description
If you're targeting the Half Distance Triathlon in Galveston, Texas, you already know this is no ordinary race. From the calm, protected saltwater swim in Offats Bayou to the pancake-flat bike course stretching along the Gulf Coast and the scenic, crowd-supported loops through Moody Gardens, this is a race built for speed—and unforgettable moments. But to perform at your best, you need more than ambition. You need a training plan engineered for this course and designed for you.
🔥 Your 36-Week Transformation Starts Here
This Intermediate training plan isn’t just a schedule—it’s a journey. Built with precision, it guides you through a 12-week base phase to establish your endurance, mobility, and technique, followed by a 24-week race-specific progression that brings your fitness to peak levels in time for Galveston’s race day.
💪 Strength You Can Feel on Race Day
From Day 1, this plan incorporates structured strength training to increase durability and power—critical for Galveston’s flat, fast bike and repetitive run loops. Swim drills enhance efficiency, while progressive V02 intervals, tempo workouts, and race-pace efforts build the speed you’ll need to PR.
🌊 Train for the Swim You’ll Face
You’ll train with open water sessions, sighting drills, and interval-based swim sets designed for Offats Bayou’s mild currents and saltwater buoyancy—helping you feel confident and fast from the first stroke to the final climb onto the dock.
🚴 Crush the Windy Gulf Coast Bike
Galveston’s bike course is flat, exposed, and often breezy. Our plan accounts for that with heart rate and power-based bike workouts that improve pacing and handling in windy conditions—so you can stay strong across all 56 miles.
🏃 Run Steady, Run Strong
The 13.1-mile run is three mentally demanding loops. This plan arms you with brick sessions, race-day simulations, and fatigue-resistant intervals that build stamina and mental grit—giving you the edge when it matters most.
🎯 Built-In Video Coaching & Structured Workouts
You’ll gain access to guided strength routines, swim drills, and interval training videos designed for the busy, motivated triathlete. Every workout is structured, purposeful, and adaptable to heart rate or power-based training.
