Plan Description

Half Distance Triathlon Louisville Training Plan: Your Path to Race Day Success ๐Ÿ

If youโ€™re racing the Half Distance Triathlon in Louisville, this training plan is built specifically to prepare you for everything the course will throw your way โ€” from the current-aided swim in the Ohio River to the rolling bike terrain through Oldham County and the warm, shaded run into downtown Louisville.

๐ŸŒŠ Swim Ready, River Strong
This Half Distance Triathlon training plan incorporates open-water swim simulations and tempo sets that mirror race conditions in the Ohio River. With water temps around 80ยฐF (27ยฐC), you'll gain confidence swimming in warm, current-supported water โ€” a key advantage on race day.

๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธ Conquer the Rolling Bike Course
Louisvilleโ€™s 56-mile bike route features steady inclines through scenic horse country. You'll build strength and efficiency through progressive long rides, low-cadence hill work, and race-pace tempo intervals. These sessions mimic the terrain and help you handle the single-loop course with confidence.

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ Thrive in the Louisville Heat
Expect high 80sยฐF (29ยฐC) on race day. Our plan conditions your body for the heat with carefully timed long runs, midday brick workouts, and pace-specific intervals. Shaded sections like Cherokee Park are accounted for with tempo work that prepares you to push through and finish strong at 4th Street Live!

โœ… Key Benefits of This Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan:

โœ… Structured 6-month progression starting from 8 hours/week, building to 12 hours/week

โœ… Brick workouts that simulate race-day fatigue and build resilience

โœ… VO2 max intervals and threshold sessions to boost speed and stamina

โœ… Weekly swim, bike, and run focus โ€” perfectly aligned with the Louisville course

โœ… Adaptable to your schedule with clear structure and recovery emphasis

โœ… Personalized email support from an experienced coach to guide your training

๐Ÿ’ฅ Whether you're aiming for a personal best or your first finish, this Half Distance Triathlon plan is your trusted roadmap to Louisville success. Built for intermediate athletes, it helps you peak at the right time โ€” physically, mentally, and strategically.

๐ŸŽฏ Ready to commit? Letโ€™s get you race-day ready with expert coaching support built into your plan. Take the first step toward Louisville โ€” and toward your best Half Distance Triathlon yet!
