Plan Description

Train Smarter for the Half Distance Triathlon Muskoka – A Plan Built for Results

The Half Distance Triathlon Muskoka presents a unique challenge. With its hilly, strength-testing bike course, punchy run terrain, and calm, fast lake swim, the race demands more than just fitness—it requires smart, periodized preparation. Our 6-Month Advanced Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is built for athletes with an existing endurance base who are ready to peak for this specific event.

Over six months, you'll move from 9.5 hours to 14 hours of weekly training, developing the strength, stamina, and pacing strategies needed to excel across Muskoka’s terrain.

✅ Swim-Specific Endurance + Technique Work

Prepare for Peninsula Lake’s single-loop course with progressive aerobic sessions.

Open water simulation and sighting drills prepare you for a clean, fast swim in calm waters averaging 70–72°F.

🚴 Strength-Endurance for the Bike

With 1,200+ meters of elevation on the 90 km route, leg durability is critical.

Focused hill repeats and sustained tempo rides build the muscular endurance needed for the relentless rollers of rural Ontario.

🔥 VO2 Max + Threshold Development

Structured interval sessions raise both your aerobic ceiling and lactate threshold.

You’ll train to hold effort through steep climbs and recover efficiently between surges.

🏃‍♂️ Run Training for Undulating Terrain

Build resilience through aerobic base miles and strategic brick sessions.

Tackle punchy hills on the 2-loop run with intervals, fartlek runs, and pace-specific long runs.

🎯 Integrated Race Strategy

Every phase prepares you to pace the swim, power the bike, and finish strong.

Training intensity is distributed to mimic race-day stress—especially for Muskoka’s tough bike-run combination.

📧 Support That Makes a Difference

Get access to direct email coach support throughout your journey—your questions answered, your concerns addressed.

You’re not just training—you’re building the strength and confidence to race well in Muskoka.
