Plan Description
The Half Distance Triathlon Ohio offers a memorable course designed for athletes ready to perform at their peak.
🏊♂️ The 1.2-mile swim kicks off with a rolling start off the Kelleys Island Ferry into Sandusky Bay (avg. water temp: 78°F), finishing at the Paper District Marina—steps away from transition.
🚴♂️ The 56-mile bike segment features a single-loop, flat course through Erie and Sandusky Counties with just 790 feet of elevation—perfect for maintaining strong tempo efforts.
🏃♂️ Athletes finish with a flat 13.1-mile two-loop run through downtown Sandusky, lined with spectators and marked by minimal elevation and warm 88°F conditions.
To prepare for this specific course, we offer a professionally designed 44-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan that supports sustained progress, minimizes injury risk, and builds race-day confidence.
🔥 12-Week Base Phase: Ideal for those with no recent mileage, this phase lays the aerobic and muscular foundation for peak training.
📆 32-Week Race Training Program: A progressive, periodized plan using a 3:1 cycle (three weeks build, one week recovery), ensuring athletes adapt, recover, and avoid burnout.
⏱️ Weekly Time Commitment: Starts at ~9.5 hours/week and peaks at 14 hours in week 39—gradually building your endurance and strength.
🏋️♂️ Designed for Amateur Advanced Athletes: Includes functional strength development and transitions to traditional strength work to match the demands of Sandusky’s flat, fast terrain.
🔬 Comprehensive Focus: Integrates aerobic base training, VO2 max sessions, anaerobic threshold work, anaerobic power, and ATP-PC sprint-focused training—covering every physiological system needed to thrive on race day.
This Half Distance Triathlon training plan prepares you for warm water swims, steady-state cycling, and heat-adapted running—so you arrive strong, prepared, and confident.
✅ Includes personal email support from your coach—ensuring your plan adapts to you.
