Plan Description

Half Distance Triathlon Bolton Training Plan

🏁 Conquer Bolton. Train Like a Champion.

Get ready to race the iconic Half Distance Triathlon Bolton—a course known for its spirited crowds, gritty climbs, and dramatic town centre finish. Our 44-week Intermediate Training Plan is crafted to build you into the athlete who thrives in Bolton’s demanding terrain and finishes strong in front of roaring fans.

🏊‍♂️ Why this Plan Gives You the Edge in Bolton

Bolton isn’t just another race. It’s a test of stamina, strategy, and grit. Here's how this plan gives you the performance advantage:

✅ Base-to-Peak Periodization
Start with a 12-week base phase—even if you're coming from zero—and build toward a race-ready 14-hour peak training week. You'll enter race day primed, not overtrained.

✅ Climb-Ready Cycling
With over 840m of elevation on the bike course, you’ll need strength and strategy. This plan integrates hill intervals, tempo rides, and power-based workouts—preparing you to attack climbs like Victoria and Old Kiln Roads with confidence.

✅ Open Water Swim Focus
Navigate Pennington Flash with ease. Open water simulation sessions and technique-focused drills will prepare you to swim smart and sight efficiently in cooler temps averaging 66°F (19°C).

✅ Run Like You Own It
From Queen’s Park trails to the finish in front of Bolton Town Hall, you'll need speed and durability. You'll train with structured heart rate and pace-based sessions so you can finish your 13.1 miles strong—even on tired legs.

✅ Strength + Recovery = Longevity
Progressive strength training, mobility sessions, and recovery protocols are woven throughout. Stay injury-resistant while maximizing gains.

✅ V02 Max & Anaerobic Threshold Development
Mid-plan intervals unlock high-end speed and race-day resilience. Your cardiovascular engine will be built for Bolton’s challenges.

🏅 Built for Intermediate Triathletes
Whether this is your first or fifth Half Distance Triathlon, this plan is designed to transform dedication into results. No guesswork. Just structured progression, expert guidance, and real-world performance.

🔥 The time to start is now. If you’re racing Bolton, this plan is your blueprint for success. Join athletes who are preparing smart—and finishing proud.
