Plan Description

Train Smarter for the Half Distance Triathlon Muskoka – 36-Week Beginner Plan with Coach Support

Racing the Half Distance Triathlon Muskoka means preparing for a course that is as beautiful as it is demanding. From the calm swim in Peninsula Lake to the relentless hills of the bike course and the trail-backed run through Ontario’s wilderness, this race rewards athletes who arrive strong, prepared, and resilient.

Our 36-week beginner training plan is designed specifically to meet the demands of this race — no prior triathlon experience required. With structured progression, expert guidance, and coach email support, this plan will help you build the endurance, strength, and confidence needed to perform your best on race day.

How This Plan Helps You Conquer Muskoka:
✅ Swim Preparedness for Peninsula Lake
Build swim endurance and refine your technique with structured pool sessions and video-based drills. You'll arrive ready for calm open water conditions with efficient, confident form.

✅ Conquer Muskoka’s Rolling Bike Terrain
The Muskoka bike course is famous for its elevation — over 1,200 meters of climbing. Our plan gradually develops your cycling stamina, leg strength, and pacing strategy with targeted hill work and brick sessions.

✅ Run Strong to the Finish at Deerhurst
The shaded, hilly two-loop run course requires both strength and strategy. This plan incorporates tempo runs, hill intervals, and long aerobic sessions to prepare your body to handle fatigue and maintain pace.

✅ Smart Progression for Sustainable Growth
Start with just 7 hours of training in Week 1 and progress to 12 hours at peak. You’ll build a strong aerobic base, then shift into race-specific phases that balance effort and recovery for optimal gains.

✅ Strength and Mobility Training Included
Video-guided* strength sessions build durability and reduce injury risk—essential for the varied terrain of Muskoka.

✅ Email Support from a Coach
Have questions? Need help adjusting the plan? You’ll receive personal guidance from an experienced triathlon coach via email throughout your training.

This isn't just a schedule — it's a complete system designed to take you from your first steps to the finish line of one of Canada's most scenic and challenging Half Distance Triathlons.

🎯 Train with purpose. Race with confidence. Start your journey today with the support and structure you need to succeed in Muskoka.
