Plan Description
Half Distance Texas – Galveston 44WK Triathlon Training Plan Built for PR
Welcome to your edge in Galveston. If you're racing the Half Distance Triathlon in Texas, this is the training plan designed to elevate your performance on one of the fastest, flattest, and most scenic courses in the U.S. From the calm waters of Offats Bayou to the smooth Gulf Coast bike ride and vibrant three-loop run through Moody Gardens, every mile offers a chance to shine—if you're ready.
This 44-week advanced training plan is engineered for serious age-group triathletes like you who want to break barriers, not just finish lines.
🏗️ 12-Week Base Phase
Start strong. Our base phase builds your aerobic engine with progressive volume, refining your technique and strength foundation. It’s more than just mileage—it’s your launchpad for success.
🏋️ 32-Week Specialized Phase
Structured with a proven 3:1 training cycle (three weeks of build, one week of recovery), this phase develops endurance, power, and race-specific skills. You’ll peak at just the right time—confident, strong, and race-ready.
📈 Weekly Progression:
Starts at ~9.5 hours/week
Peaks at ~14 hours/week (Week 39)
This gradual build supports long-term gains and injury prevention, especially important for humid conditions and long, flat efforts like Galveston.
Tailored for Advanced Age-Group Athletes
Whether you're chasing a podium or a personal best, this plan incorporates:
✔️ Functional & conventional strength training
✔️ Technique refinement for open water swimming
✔️ Gulf wind-adapted cycling efforts
✔️ Repeated pace management for the 3-loop run course
