Plan Description
Conquer the Half Distance Triathlon Aix-en-Provence with Confidence
Prepare to race through one of France’s most scenic and challenging events: the Half Distance Triathlon Aix-en-Provence. From the crystal-clear swim in Lake Peyrolles to the technical bike climbs through the landscapes of Mountain Sainte-Victoire, and the vibrant run finale at La Rotonde, this course demands more than just endurance—it requires smart, focused training.
That’s where our 44-Week Beginner Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan comes in.
Designed specifically for first-time and developing triathletes, this plan is structured to match the demands of the Aix-en-Provence course. The opening 12-week phase builds your foundational strength and aerobic base. You'll develop swim technique in preparation for the 1.9 km lake swim (typically 64°F/18°C), build muscular resilience for the 1077 meters of climbing over 90 km of biking, and establish the stamina to hold pace across the three-loop 21.1 km run.
From Week 13 onward, you'll shift into race-specific preparation with interval training, tempo sessions, and fatigue resistance work—all calibrated to help you perform on undulating terrain and in unpredictable winds (where disc wheels are wisely banned for safety).
Whether you're tackling Provence’s twisting climbs or pacing through the streets of Aix, this plan ensures you’ll be ready.
You’ll benefit from:
✔️ Video-guided swim drills to refine technique and confidence in open water
✔️ Structured RPE/Heart Rate run and bike sessions tailored for aerobic and threshold development
✔️ Targeted strength workouts to improve durability and injury resistance
✔️ Progressive training volume, starting at 9.5 hours/week and peaking at 14 hours, to align with your real-life schedule and race-day demands
Join the hundreds of athletes preparing smart—and racing strong.
Start your training today and take the first step toward a powerful, unforgettable performance in Aix-en-Provence.
