Plan Description
The Half Distance Triathlon Calgary takes place in Harmony, Alberta—west of Calgary near the foothills of the Canadian Rockies. The course features unique challenges: a two-loop 1.2-mile swim in Lake Harmony with an Aussie exit, a 56-mile bike through the rolling terrain of Calgary’s eastern foothills, and a 13.1-mile run along the Bow River and through Mickelson National Golf Course. Athletes face shifting winds, moderate elevation, and potential temperature swings around 70°F (21°C)—conditions that demand focused preparation.
The Six-Month Half Distance Triathlon Intermediate Training Plan is built to meet these exact race-day demands. Designed for athletes who already have an Olympic distance base, this plan progressively builds endurance, speed, and resilience—exactly what you’ll need on race day.
✅ Build Race-Specific Endurance: Starting with 8 hours per week and peaking at around 12, the plan gradually develops the stamina needed to thrive across Calgary’s hilly bike course and multi-loop run format.
✅ Prepare for Open-Water Conditions: Early and ongoing exposure to open-water swim techniques and race-pace efforts help you master the two-loop swim and Aussie exit with confidence.
✅ Adapt to Elevation and Terrain: Strategic long rides and tempo-focused bike workouts simulate the rolling hills and wind exposure typical of Calgary’s foothills.
✅ Strengthen with Brick Workouts: Regular bike-to-run sessions prepare your body and mind for the shifting demands of race day—especially the transition into Calgary’s undulating run course.
✅ Sharpen Speed and Efficiency: Incorporates VO₂ intervals, anaerobic threshold efforts, and endurance track work to improve race-day efficiency and speed.
✅ Reduce Injury Risk: A structured progression minimizes overtraining, allowing you to peak at the right time while staying healthy and consistent.
Whether you're aiming to finish strong or set a personal best, this Half Distance Triathlon plan helps you train with purpose and precision—tailored for Calgary's terrain, weather, and race layout.
