Plan Description
From a one-loop swim in Lake Monona, to a scenic and hilly 56-mile ride through the Madison countryside, and a final half marathon through downtown Madison, this course requires strategic preparation and well-rounded fitness. This 6-month Half Distance Triathlon training plan is specifically designed to help you build the endurance, strength, and confidence needed to meet the unique demands of this race.
Built for athletes with a solid Olympic-distance base, this plan is designed to elevate your endurance, sharpen your speed, and prepare you specifically for the course challenges in Wisconsin.
✅ Progressive Volume & Intensity
Start with 8 hours per week and build to 12 — all intelligently structured to enhance aerobic endurance, stamina, and race-readiness.
🏊 Open Water & Tempo Swim Prep
Master the one-loop, clockwise swim at Law Park Beach with targeted open-water sessions and pacing strategies that simulate real race conditions in Lake Monona (avg. 75°F).
🚴♂️ Train for the Hills of Madison
Get race-ready for the 2,000+ ft elevation gain with structured intervals and long rides that replicate the scenic, hilly bike terrain through Wisconsin’s countryside.
🏃♂️ Run Strong into the Capitol Finish
Run-focused workouts — including tempo runs, endurance track sessions, and rolling terrain simulations — mirror the downtown Madison run, giving you the edge to finish strong.
💥 Brick Workouts That Build Resilience
Integrated brick sessions condition your body and mind for smooth transitions and the cumulative fatigue you’ll face on race day.
🔥 Advanced Speed Work & Threshold Training
VO₂ max intervals and anaerobic threshold efforts push your fitness ceiling higher — helping you race faster, not just finish.
