Plan Description
Half Distance Texas - Galveston Triathlon Training Plan – Master the Course, Own the Day
Unleash your potential with our 36-week advanced blueprint built for speed, strength, and strategy.
Ready to crush your personal best on one of the fastest and flattest Half Distance triathlon courses in the U.S.? The Half Distance Galveston Triathlon at Moody Gardens combines PR-worthy race conditions with a Gulf Coast paradise—warm breezes, smooth roads, and a swim in the calm Offats Bayou. Whether you're chasing a podium finish or looking to level up, this training plan is your key to race-day excellence.
Why This Plan Works for Galveston
Designed with the specific demands of Galveston's terrain and climate in mind, our 36-week program is divided into a 12-week base phase followed by a targeted 24-week build. Training kicks off at 9.5 hours per week and scales up to 14.5 hours, ensuring gradual, sustainable progress.
The course is flat—but don’t let that fool you. Our plan prepares you for high sustained effort with sessions that target:
✅ Endurance Aerobic Mile Training for consistent output on Galveston’s flat bike and run courses
✅ VO2 Max & Anaerobic Threshold Workouts for surges and race pace control
✅ Climbing Acceleration Intervals to simulate wind resistance along the Gulf
✅ Power Sprint & ATP-PC Workouts for strong finishes and quick transitions
✅ Swim Technique Development for the saltwater bay swim—efficiency is everything
This program is crafted for amateur advanced athletes who want more than just to finish—they want to thrive. It includes functional strength work in the early phase, followed by traditional strength development that aligns with aerobic endurance milestones. You’ll build speed, resilience, and tactical race fitness.
