Plan Description
Take on the challenge of the Half Distance Triathlon Rockford. This advanced six-month training plan is built to help experienced triathletes reach peak performance on race day—through smart progression, race-specific preparation, and expert support every step of the way.
From week one’s 9.5 hours to a peak of 14 hours per week, each session is purposefully designed to match the demands of Rockford’s scenic but demanding course:
🏊♂️ Swim: 1.2 miles downstream in the Rock River—faster currents reward efficient form and fitness.
🚴 Bike: 56 miles of rolling farmland and hills north of the city—requiring sustained power and smart pacing.
🏃 Run: A double-loop 13.1-mile riverfront course with warm temps and mixed terrain—demanding both mental focus and physical resilience.
Here’s how this training plan directly benefits you:
✅ Aerobic Endurance Development – Long rides and runs build stamina and improve fuel efficiency.
✅ VO2 Max Intervals – Push your top-end engine so you can handle surges and recover faster.
✅ Threshold Workouts – Raise your redline so you can hold strong paces longer on the bike and run.
✅ Anaerobic Power Training – Perfect for mastering hills, transitions, and that final kick to the finish.
✅ Race Simulations – Practice executing strategy under fatigue to build confidence and readiness.
✅ Built-in Recovery Weeks – Allow your body to adapt and avoid overtraining.
💬 Email coach support is included, offering direct access to expert guidance, motivation, and answers tailored to your journey.
This isn’t just another training plan—it’s a targeted, high-level system designed for the Rockford course and serious athletes like you.
👉 Commit to your best race yet. Start your training today and take the next step in your Half Distance Triathlon journey.
