Plan Description
Train Smarter for the Half Distance Triathlon Westfriesland
The Half Distance Triathlon Westfriesland offers a uniquely Dutch experience:
🏊♂️ Swim in the historic old harbor of Hoorn, surrounded by city charm
🚴♀️ Bike past iconic windmills and through scenic countryside villages
🏃 Run through cobbled streets, along historic docks, and finish at the Stadsstrand beach
To help you cross that finish line strong, we’ve created a 36-week beginner training plan tailored specifically for this race — no prior triathlon experience needed.
✅ Why This Plan Works for You
This thoughtfully structured plan is ideal for athletes new to the Half Distance Triathlon. It builds gradually from the ground up, focusing on:
✅ 12-Week Foundation Phase
• Build aerobic endurance and muscular strength
• Master swim technique with guided drills and video instruction
• Use RPE and heart rate to train smart, not just hard
✅ 24-Week Half Distance Race Phase
• Gradually increase training from 7 to 12 hours/week
• Brick workouts that blend bike and run sessions for real-race readiness
• Tempo and open-water swim sessions to simulate race-day intensity
✅ Strength Training for Triathletes
• 🏋️ Structured sessions with form-focused video instruction
• Injury prevention and power development
• Confidence-boosting progress, even on your off days
🌟 Specifically Designed for Westfriesland
From cold-water harbor swims (63°F / 17°C) to a fast, flat Dutch bike course and a culturally rich city run (average 68°F / 20°C), this plan prepares you for every challenge this race throws at you — from your first stroke to your final step on the beachside finish line.
