Plan Description
The 44-week Beginner Triathlon Training Plan is specifically designed to prepare you for the unique demands of the Half Distance Triathlon Calgary. Whether it’s the water conditions, hilly bike terrain, or mentally challenging multi-loop run, this structured plan builds the physical and mental readiness needed to tackle each leg of the race.
✅ 12-Week Base Phase: Develops foundational strength, conditioning, and aerobic endurance — essential for navigating Calgary’s rolling hills and steady river paths.
✅ 32-Week Build Phase: Progressively sharpens race-specific fitness with VO2 intervals, threshold work, and endurance sessions aligned to the demands of each discipline.
✅ Structured by Effort: All sessions include RPE and heart rate guidance to help manage training intensity in varied terrain and weather conditions like wind or heat.
✅ Swim-Focused Technique Work: Instructional video drills enhance open-water confidence for Lake Harmony’s two-loop swim format.
✅ Terrain-Specific Strength Sessions: Designed for beginners, these build climbing ability and reduce injury risk on hilly sections of the bike and run.
✅ Race-Day Simulation: Strategic weekly increases in volume and intensity prepare you for back-to-back efforts under race conditions.
This plan ensures you're not just fit, but race-ready — adapted to Harmony’s course layout, elevation, and environmental factors. It’s more than just workouts; it's a roadmap that supports you every step of the way.
📩 Includes access to personalized email coach support, so you’re never training alone.
