Plan Description
Half Distance Triathlon Chattanooga – 44-Week Beginner Training Plan
Are you ready to conquer the Half Distance Triathlon in Chattanooga? Whether this is your first time racing this iconic event or you're aiming to improve your finish, our expertly crafted 44-week beginner training plan will guide you every step of the way—without requiring a base level of fitness before starting.
The Chattanooga Half Distance Triathlon features a fast 1.4-mile swim in the Tennessee River, a scenic and rolling 56-mile bike through Georgia countryside near Lookout Mountain, and a 13.1-mile run through the heart of downtown Chattanooga. With water temperatures in the low 70s and average air temps around 71°F (22°C), race-day conditions are favorable—if you're properly prepared.
That’s where this plan shines.
You’ll begin with a focused 12-week base training block designed to build foundational strength, conditioning, and aerobic capacity. This isn’t just mileage—it’s smart training, starting at 9.5 hours per week and building gradually to 14 hours by week 39.
After the base phase, you’ll transition into a 32-week performance-focused plan targeting the unique demands of the Half Distance Triathlon. You’ll improve your swim efficiency, develop bike power through structured RPE and heart rate-guided intervals, and gain run durability with progressive workouts that build speed, strength, and stamina.
What sets this plan apart?
✅ Technique-Driven Swim Drills
✅ Heart Rate-Based Bike & Run Sessions
✅ Targeted Strength Training for Beginners
✅ Progressive VO2 Max and Threshold Intervals
✅ Race-Specific Workouts Tailored for Chattanooga
By the time you reach race week, you won’t just hope to finish—you’ll be ready to race.
Take the guesswork out of training. Trust a plan that prepares you physically and mentally to tackle Chattanooga’s swim, bike, and run with confidence.
👉 Commit to your success today and start your journey to the finish line at Ross’s Landing. Your best Half Distance Triathlon performance starts now.
