Plan Description
Train Smarter for the Oregon Half Distance Triathlon: A 36-Week Plan Designed for Real-World Race Day Success
Preparing for the Oregon Half Distance Triathlon means aligning your training with the course’s unique terrain, weather conditions, and pacing demands. This 36-week beginner-friendly triathlon training plan is strategically designed to help you build the endurance, strength, and skill needed to perform confidently on race day—whether it's your first Half Distance Triathlon or your next.
🏊♂️ Swim: Downriver Speed Advantage
The 1.2-mile swim in the Willamette River starts at Minto Brown Island Park, with a favorable current that accelerates swim times. Our training plan includes a 12-week foundational phase with guided swim drills and technique-focused workouts, preparing you to take full advantage of the current while navigating efficiently through buoy-marked channels. Open-water skills and race-simulation sessions ensure you’re ready for the river’s pace and positioning.
🚴♀️ Bike: Fast and Flat with Rolling Hills
The 56-mile bike leg features smooth roads with gentle hills along the scenic Willamette River. Targeted RPE/Heart Rate-based rides in the training plan simulate this terrain with steady-state endurance workouts and tempo intervals. Progressive brick workouts help condition your legs for the fast transition from bike to run.
🏃♂️ Run: Flat, Scenic, and Sun-Exposed
With a 13.1-mile loop that includes both shade and open sun exposure, the course finishes strong at Riverfront Park. Our program gradually builds run volume and intensity with a focus on heat acclimation, pacing strategies, and recovery. You'll gain the stamina to hold your form and stay mentally sharp through the finish.
