Plan Description
This advanced 44-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan is designed to prepare you comprehensively for the unique demands of the Calgary course.
🏊♂️ Swim Preparation
The plan emphasizes swim technique and endurance to help you confidently handle the two-loop 1.2-mile swim in Lake Harmony. Training at similar intensities and durations reduces fatigue and improves efficiency in water temperatures around 70°F, where wetsuits are typically worn.
🚴♂️ Bike Endurance and Power
The 56-mile bike course features rolling hills and wind exposure, so the plan integrates progressive endurance rides and interval workouts focused on climbing and power output. This prepares you to maintain strong pacing through Calgary’s eastern foothills and manage the two-loop rural road course effectively.
🏃♂️ Run Stamina and Speed
With a run composed of three out-and-back loops totaling 13.1 miles, the training plan develops your aerobic base and threshold running through structured intervals and long runs. This builds the stamina and mental toughness needed to sustain a consistent pace along the Bow River and golf course terrain.
🌦️ Weather and Terrain Adaptation
Training across all three disciplines progressively increases volume from about 9.5 hours to 14 hours per week, incorporating active recovery weeks to reduce injury risk and support adaptation to variable weather and terrain challenges expected at the Half Distance Triathlon Calgary.
⚙️ Strength and Injury Prevention
A focus on functional strength training transitions into conventional strength exercises, supporting joint stability and muscular endurance. This reduces injury risk and enhances your ability to maintain form throughout the race.
📅 Structured Periodization
The 12-week base regimen builds foundational fitness without requiring prior mileage, followed by a 32-week specialized training phase. The 3 weeks-on, 1 week active recovery cycle enables sustainable progression toward peak fitness while minimizing burnout.
This Half Distance Triathlon training plan equips you with a detailed roadmap to tackle Calgary’s swim, bike, and run courses confidently. The structured progression improves your endurance, power, and mental readiness—key to achieving your race goals.
Take the next step in your Half Distance Triathlon journey with personalized email coach support included in the plan. This support ensures expert guidance tailored to your progress and questions, helping you stay on track and motivated.
