Plan Description
Crush the Half Distance Triathlon Eagleman with Our Proven 36-Week Training Plan!
Ready to take on the Half Distance Triathlon Eagleman in Cambridge, Maryland? This iconic race features a challenging 1.2-mile swim in the tidal Choptank River, a fast and flat 56-mile bike through scenic country roads and the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, plus a 13.1-mile run along peaceful riverside streets and the beautiful Algonquin neighborhood. Temperatures often reach 80°F (27°C), so you’ll need smart training to stay strong and steady.
That’s where our 36-week beginner training plan comes in — designed to get you race-ready and confident!
Why This Training Plan Works for Eagleman Athletes:
✅ Build a solid foundation: The first 12 weeks focus on strength, endurance, and swim technique to help you master the Choptank River swim — including managing those tricky tidal currents.
✅ Bike with power and control: Our workouts prepare you for the flat but windy 56-mile bike course, teaching you to maintain speed and efficiency on open roads.
✅ Run strong to the finish: Train with a smart mix of tempo runs and endurance sessions to handle the out-and-back run course without fatigue.
✅ Progressive brick workouts: Combine swim, bike, and run sessions gradually to perfect your race-day transitions and build triathlon-specific stamina.
✅ Strength training included: Video-guided* strength exercises improve your form and prevent injury, crucial for maintaining pace in hot, humid conditions.
✅ Personalized pacing: Using Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) and heart rate zones, you’ll learn to train smarter, avoid burnout, and peak just in time for race day.
What You’ll Gain
Confidence to tackle every leg of the Eagleman course
Endurance to power through 56 miles on the bike and 13.1 miles on the run
Techniques to swim efficiently against tidal currents
The mental and physical strength to perform at your best in 80°F heat
This plan isn’t just about finishing — it’s about finishing strong, faster, and injury-free.
