Plan Description
Prepare for the Half Distance Triathlon Ohio with a Proven Training Plan
The Ohio Half Distance Triathlon event begins with a 1.2-mile swim, starting with a rolling start off the Kelleys Island Ferry into the calm waters of Sandusky Bay, averaging 78°F. You’ll finish the swim at Paper District Marina, right by transition. The 56-mile bike course is a flat, fast, single-loop route through Erie and Sandusky Counties, featuring only 790 feet of elevation gain—perfect for building speed. The 13.1-mile run is a flat, two-loop course through downtown Sandusky, ideal for spectators and race-day support, with average temperatures near 88°F.
To perform at your best on race day, a tailored Half Distance Triathlon training plan is essential. Our 36-week advanced training blueprint is designed specifically for athletes preparing for this exact terrain, distance, and weather conditions. It begins with a 12-week foundation phase emphasizing functional strength and swim technique, setting the stage for the 24-week advanced phase focused on endurance, speed, and power development.
The plan follows a 3:1 cycle — three weeks of structured, progressive workouts followed by one week of active recovery. Training volume starts at 9.5 hours per week and builds up to 14.5 hours, carefully balancing intensity and recovery to reduce injury risk and enhance performance. 🏊♂️🚴♂️🏃♀️
Key training components include:
Technique-focused swim sessions for efficiency
Endurance aerobic mileage for sustained effort
VO2 max and anaerobic threshold intervals to boost speed
Power and sprint training to handle bike accelerations
Strength training tailored to triathlon demands 💪
This plan prepares you for the flat swim and bike courses, and the heat expected on race day, building confidence and resilience for your Half Distance Triathlon.
