With a 1.2-mile swim in Lake Monona, a demanding 56-mile bike ride through Madison’s rolling hills, and a 13.1-mile run ending at the iconic Capitol Building, success demands more than just grit — it requires the right preparation.
Our 36-Week Advanced Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is built specifically to help amateur advanced athletes like you perform your best on race day. It’s not just a schedule — it’s a roadmap tailored to the unique demands of the Wisconsin course.
✅ Swim-Ready from Day One
Start strong with a 12-week foundation phase focused on swim form, technique, and endurance — perfect for navigating Lake Monona’s one-loop, clockwise course with confidence and control.
✅ Bike-Specific Strength & Stamina
With over 2,000 feet of climbing on race day, you'll need more than flat-road miles. Our plan builds cycling-specific power through climbing acceleration intervals, anaerobic threshold work, and power sprint training — giving you the legs and lungs to conquer Madison’s hills.
✅ Run with Purpose, Finish with Pride
The final out-and-back run through downtown Madison demands resilience. Our plan incorporates VO2 max training, tempo efforts, and aerobic endurance miles so you arrive on State Street strong, not spent.
✅ Strategic 3:1 Training Cycle
Three weeks of focused training followed by one week of active recovery helps you grow stronger without burning out — keeping your progress steady and sustainable.
✅ Start at 9.5 Hours, Peak at 14.5
Built to fit into your life, this plan scales with your fitness — guiding you from manageable beginnings to peak condition without the guesswork.
✅ Personalized Coach Email Support Included
You’re not alone. Get expert answers, motivation, and guidance every step of the way.
Whether you're looking to shave minutes off your PR or cross your first finish line in Madison, this plan gives you every tool to train with purpose and race with confidence.
