Plan Description
Training for the Half Distance Triathlon in Louisville means preparing for a unique, dynamic course shaped by warm water, hilly terrain, and urban energy. This 44-week intermediate Half Distance Triathlon training plan is purpose-built to get you to the start line confident—and the finish line strong—by targeting the exact demands of Louisville’s course.
🏊♂️ Swim Preparation for the Ohio River
Louisville's point-to-point 1.2-mile swim in the Ohio River often features warm, current-assisted conditions. Our plan includes frequent open water simulation workouts, sighting drills, and technique-focused swim sessions that build efficiency in downstream environments. Instructional videos support stroke refinement so you can adapt to river conditions and pace accordingly.
🚴♀️ Bike-Specific Conditioning for Kentucky Hills
The 56-mile single-loop ride through Oldham County’s horse country includes rolling hills that demand both stamina and strength. Our program gradually builds to high-volume endurance rides, introduces tempo intervals, and includes structured power-based bike sessions to prepare you for elevation changes, brick workouts improve bike-to-run transition efficiency—essential on race day.
🏃♂️ Run Endurance for Urban Heat and Terrain
The 13.1-mile run features shaded stretches in Cherokee Park but also urban segments where heat and pavement take a toll. The plan incorporates heat-adaptation training, variable pacing, and terrain-specific efforts to simulate race conditions. You’ll practice pacing strategy, hydration timing, and mental fortitude across progressive long runs.
