Plan Description
The Half Distance Triathlon Musselman in Geneva, New York, offers athletes a rewarding challenge set against the picturesque backdrop of the Finger Lakes. With a 1.2-mile swim in Seneca Lake, a scenic 56-mile bike ride through rural valleys, and a 13.1-mile run weaving along the lake and through Hobart and William Smith College, this event demands more than fitness—it calls for a strategic and intelligent approach to training.
To meet the demands of this course, this training plan is designed specifically for athletes seeking structured guidance that supports performance, builds confidence, and reduces injury risk.
🌟 Prepare for Your Journey
Before beginning, we recommend a solid foundation of base fitness—such as comfortably completing an Olympic distance triathlon. This ensures you’re ready to embrace the plan’s progressive demands.
🏋️♂️ Tailored for the Musselman Course
Starting with 8 hours per week and gradually building to around 12, this plan is structured to:
✅ Build aerobic endurance for the 56-mile rolling bike terrain
✅ Develop open-water swim strength for Seneca Lake’s clear but occasionally choppy waters
✅ Adapt your pace and form to the two-loop, partially shaded run course
🚴♂️🏃♀️ Train Smart with Progressive Brick Workouts
The course’s rolling hills and transitions require resilience. Our plan includes strategic brick workouts to mimic the race-day fatigue and terrain, preparing your body to perform efficiently on tired legs.
✅ Strengthen muscular endurance with hill repeats and long tempo rides
✅ Improve race-day transitions with back-to-back swim-bike and bike-run sessions
🔥 Sharpen Race-Day Execution
You’ll gain confidence in pacing through VO₂ intervals, anaerobic threshold efforts, and race-pace simulations. Combined with race-specific nutrition guidance and tapering strategies, you'll arrive at Geneva ready to perform.
📬 Personalized Coach Support
Each plan includes email access to a certified coach, ensuring your questions, adaptations, and progress are guided with expert care.
