This 44-week training plan provides a systematic approach to help you perform your best on race day, with a professional structure that removes the guesswork from your training.
🏊 Swim: Prairie Creek Reservoir (1.2 miles)
The race begins with a 1.2-mile swim in calm, warm water—ideal for beginners but still demanding efficient technique.
✅ Our early swim blocks emphasize form, breathing control, and endurance building.
✅ Technique-focused drills and structured intervals enhance open water efficiency.
✅ Weekly progression ensures you're comfortable and confident in variable lake conditions.
🚴 Bike: 56-Mile Out-and-Back on Flat Terrain
This fast course across Delaware and Henry counties features closed roads and low elevation gain. Success here is about sustained power and smart pacing.
✅ Structured bike workouts build aerobic capacity and time trial endurance.
✅ Sessions include V02 max intervals and long ride simulations to prep for sustained output.
✅ RPE and heart rate guidelines ensure smart effort management in training and on race day.
🏃 Run: 13.1 Miles of Rolling Terrain
The run course features rolling hills and average race-day temps near 83°F (28°C), requiring heat adaptation and strength.
✅ Gradual build-up from walk-jogs to sustained aerobic runs.
✅ Hill-focused intervals and threshold work strengthen your stride and mental stamina.
✅ RPE-based progression helps you race steady through rising afternoon temperatures.
