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:

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.
