The Six-Month Half Distance Triathlon Intermediate Training Plan is designed to build the endurance, strength, and pacing strategy required for success in Swansea. Whether you’re aiming to complete your first Half Distance Triathlon or improve your personal best, this plan provides a clear, structured path.
✅ Progressive Weekly Training Volume
The program begins with 8 hours of training per week and gradually increases to around 12 hours. This progressive load helps you build endurance without risking overtraining.
✅ Swim Training for Cold, Calm Water
Prepare for the 1.2-mile swim in the Prince of Wales Dock with open-water specific sessions focused on sighting, pacing, and efficient stroke mechanics in cooler water (average 60°F / 16°C).
✅ Bike Workouts for Hills and Wind
Swansea’s 56-mile bike course includes coastal climbs and inland rolling hills. You’ll train with tempo intervals, sustained climbs, and brick sessions to simulate the effort and conditions you’ll face.
✅ Run Sessions Aligned with Course Layout
Train for the two-loop run through the city and out toward Mumbles with structured endurance runs, pacing work, and race-pace simulations.
✅ Higher Intensity for Race-Day Readiness
🧱 Brick workouts to develop race-day efficiency
🔥 V02 max intervals and anaerobic threshold sessions
🏃♂️ Endurance runs to build long-distance durability
📬 Ongoing Support Included
You’ll also have access to email-based coach support for feedback, adjustments, and questions throughout your training.
