Plan Description

🏔️ Half Distance Triathlon Boulder Training Plan 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Crush Colorado’s Altitude & Rollers with a Proven 44-Week Blueprint

Racing the Half Distance Triathlon in Boulder is no ordinary challenge. With its cool 62°F reservoir swim, fast rural bike course, and hard-packed dirt run with downhill rollers, this race demands smart, structured preparation. Our 44-week Half Distance Triathlon Boulder Training Plan is engineered to elevate Amateur Advanced Athletes and help you dominate the course with confidence and efficiency.

✅ Why This Plan Works for Boulder:
✅ Swim Ready at Altitude
Build open-water strength to tackle Boulder Reservoir’s cool temps and long counterclockwise loop with drills that improve breathing and sighting—crucial for the east-to-west swim.

✅ Conquer the 2-Loop Bike Course
Master Boulder’s short rollers and rural descents with interval-based workouts and pacing strategies designed for speed and control on Diagonal Hwy and Hygiene Rd.

✅ Run Boulder Strong
Tackle hard-packed dirt and steady descents on Monarch Rd and 55th St. Our run training incorporates hill repeats, tempo sessions, and race-specific endurance work to help you stay fast and steady through both loops.

💪 What You’ll Get:
🔥 12-Week Base Phase
Start strong—even with no prior base. Build aerobic capacity and movement patterns that lay a rock-solid foundation.

📆 32-Week Race-Specific Plan
Train smart with a progressive 3:1 cycle (3 weeks work, 1 week recovery) tailored to peak at week 39 with 14 hours of training, starting at just 9.5 hours per week.

🏋️‍♂️ Strength Training Included
Enhance functional movement, prevent injuries, and transition into powerful race-season strength—all customized for endurance athletes.

🎯 Physiological Precision
Our plan targets all energy systems:

🫁 Aerobic Base & VO₂ Max

🔥 Anaerobic Threshold & Power

⚡ ATP-PC sprint capacity
