Plan Description
This 44-week training plan is built for athletes targeting the Half Distance Triathlon in Muncie, Indiana who want consistent improvement, injury prevention, and peak performance on race day.
The Muncie swim takes place in Prairie Creek Reservoir, with calm, warm waters ideal for developing open-water skills and efficient pacing. This plan prepares you with progressive swim workouts focused on endurance and technique, ensuring you're comfortable and confident over 1.2 miles.
✅ Swim Training Focus
Emphasis on endurance, sighting, and form under fatigue
Open water simulation sessions integrated into later phases
Stroke efficiency development to reduce wasted energy
The 56-mile bike segment is a flat, fast, out-and-back course on closed highways through Delaware and Henry counties. Light winds often favor the return leg. The training plan includes power-based bike intervals and long rides that simulate the steady-state effort required for Muncie's terrain.
🚴 Bike Training Benefits
Structured long rides on terrain similar to Muncie's course
Functional strength training to build durability
Aerodynamic positioning and fueling strategies tested in advance
The 13.1-mile run wraps around the south side of the reservoir, with rolling hills and a typical air temperature near 83°F (28°C). Athletes must be prepared for both elevation change and heat exposure.
🏃 Run Training Strategy
Weekly long runs with terrain variations
Heat adaptation sessions for warm weather race prep
Pacing strategies integrated into brick workouts
This 44-week plan starts with a 12-week base phase, requiring no prior training. It's followed by a 32-week structured build, using a 3:1 training cycle (3 weeks of load, 1 week of recovery). Weekly volume begins at 9.5 hours and peaks near 14 hours.
🧠 Performance-Focused Structure
Progressive overload with built-in recovery to avoid burnout
V02 max, threshold, anaerobic, and sprint phases designed for metabolic efficiency
