Plan Description
Conquer the Half Distance Triathlon Chattanooga with confidence using our 36-Week Advanced Training Plan, engineered for driven amateur athletes ready to elevate their performance. Chattanooga’s iconic course demands precision, preparation, and resilience—and this plan delivers exactly that.
Start with a 12-week foundation phase that builds functional strength and aerobic capacity, followed by 24 weeks of targeted Half Distance Triathlon preparation. The plan follows a proven 3:1 training rhythm—three weeks of focused progression, then one week of recovery—allowing your body to adapt and grow stronger without burnout.
You’ll begin with 9.5-hour training weeks and build strategically toward peak weeks of 14.5 hours. Every workout has a purpose: enhancing your power, endurance, speed, and mental grit—exactly what you need to succeed in Chattanooga’s dynamic terrain.
From the fast-flowing 1.2-mile swim in the Tennessee River to the scenic, rolling 56-mile bike through north Georgia and the 13.1-mile run across Chattanooga’s downtown landmarks, this course demands more than just fitness—it requires smart, sport-specific training.
Here’s how the plan sharpens your edge:
✅ Endurance Aerobic Mile Training to build all-day strength
💨 VO₂ Max Intervals to increase your high-end aerobic engine
🔥 Anaerobic Threshold Training for sustained race-pace power
⚡ Power Sprint & ATP-PC Sessions for bike surges and run kick
⛰️ Climbing Acceleration Workouts to prepare for Georgia’s rolling hills
Swim workouts are designed to fine-tune technique, efficiency, and open-water confidence—crucial for navigating the Tennessee River’s current. Bike and run sessions target strength, pacing, and terrain-specific performance. And strength training? That’s built-in, starting from week one.
