Plan Description

Training for the Half Distance Triathlon in Rockford, Illinois demands a thoughtful, structured approach—and this six-month beginner plan is designed to guide you from start to finish with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Whether you’re tackling your first Half Distance Triathlon or returning to the sport with fresh goals, this program equips you with the tools to race smart and finish strong along Rockford’s scenic course.

🏊 Swim Confidently: You’ll prepare for the 1.2-mile downriver swim in the Rock River with progressive drills that develop both technique and stamina. Early workouts focus on form, while later sessions introduce open-water skills so you're fully ready for race-day conditions.

🚴 Conquer the Bike Course: The 56-mile loop through Rockford’s rolling hills and farmlands calls for solid endurance and smart pacing. This plan builds your aerobic engine with structured intervals, tempo rides, and brick workouts to ensure a smooth transition from bike to run.

🏃 Run Strong to the Finish: Featuring a double-loop course along the Rock River, the 13.1-mile run tests your pacing and grit. With weekly runs that progress from steady-state efforts to threshold sessions, you’ll develop the mental and physical strength needed to handle Rockford’s warm race-day temps and finish downtown with pride.

📈 Progress You Can Feel:
✔️ Gradually increases from 7 to 12 hours of weekly training over 6 months
✔️ Introduces VO2 max and threshold work for peak performance gains
✔️ Integrates strength training with guided videos tailored to triathletes

💡 Designed for Real Life: Every workout is adjustable based on your schedule and fitness level. You’ll train using Rate of Perceived Effort (RPE) and Heart Rate to ensure sessions are effective and individualized.

📧 You're Not Alone: With direct email access to your coach, you’ll never feel stuck or unsupported. Ask questions, get feedback, and receive expert guidance throughout your training journey.
