Plan Description
The Half Distance Triathlon Calgary in Harmony, Alberta, offers a distinctive course demanding focused preparation. It begins with a 1.2-mile (1.9 km) two-loop swim in Lake Harmony, where water temperatures average 70°F (21°C). The Aussie exit after the first lap requires steady pacing and efficient energy use to prepare for the upcoming bike leg. The 56-mile (90 km) bike course travels through Calgary’s eastern foothills on paved rural roads, featuring rolling terrain, wind, and elevation changes that challenge your strength and pacing. The 13.1-mile (21.1 km) run is a three-loop out-and-back route along the Bow River and through Mickelson National Golf Course, testing your endurance and mental toughness.
The six-month Half Distance Triathlon advanced training plan is designed to prepare you specifically for the unique demands of this course. Starting at 9.5 training hours per week and progressing to 14 hours, this plan builds your endurance, power, and resilience gradually, reducing injury risk while boosting confidence.
Here’s how this triathlon training plan prepares you for the Half Distance Triathlon Calgary:
✅ Endurance Aerobic Mile Training: Develops a strong aerobic base to sustain long swims, power through rolling bike terrain, and maintain steady pacing on the multi-loop run course.
✅ VO2 Max Interval Sessions: Enhance oxygen uptake and speed to handle bike course challenges like wind resistance and elevation gains.
✅ Anaerobic Threshold Training: Raises your ability to hold higher intensities on the bike and run, essential for managing Calgary’s rolling foothills and run loops.
✅ Anaerobic Power Sprint and Interval Training: Builds explosive power needed for bike climbs and final run surges, giving you an edge on varied terrain.
This structured plan’s gradual volume increase and focus on endurance and power are aligned with the demands of Lake Harmony’s swim, Calgary’s foothills bike course, and the technical run along the Bow River. Following this plan builds the physical and mental stamina necessary to face Calgary’s unique race-day conditions.
