Plan Description
Half Distance Triathlon Chattanooga Training Plan – Achieve Your Peak Performance
Training for the Half Distance Triathlon Chattanooga is no small feat. With a fast 1.2-mile swim in the Tennessee River, a scenic yet challenging 56-mile bike through the hills of North Georgia, and a 13.1-mile run across Chattanooga’s iconic bridges and riverfront, this race demands more than grit—it requires a structured, proven plan designed for real results.
Enter the 36-Week Half Distance Triathlon Intermediate Plan—a performance-focused roadmap tailored specifically for athletes ready to train with purpose and precision.
💥 Phase 1: Foundation (Weeks 1–12)
Build your aerobic engine from the ground up. This initial block focuses on low-intensity endurance, consistency, and functional strength. You’ll develop resilience and movement efficiency—key to staying injury-free while gradually increasing your training load.
🏊 Phase 2: Performance Development (Weeks 13–24)
Training volume increases strategically, beginning at 7 hours per week and peaking around 12.5. We integrate swim technique, interval bike sessions, and strength work aligned with sport-specific demands. You’ll master tempo sessions, bricks, and open water readiness—essential for handling the fast-moving Tennessee River and hilly Georgia roads.
🏃 Phase 3: Race-Specific Preparation (Weeks 25–36)
Now it’s time to sharpen the blade. This phase intensifies with VO₂ max sets, anaerobic threshold intervals, and endurance-focused track sessions. The goal: prepare your body and mind to push strong through the final miles on Chattanooga’s iconic bridges and riverwalk.
