Plan Description
Tackling the Half Distance Triathlon in Wisconsin is no small feat—but with the right plan, you’ll arrive at the start line fully prepared and confident. Our 36-week Beginner Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is thoughtfully designed to meet you where you are—whether you're just starting your triathlon journey or returning to the sport with fresh goals.
🏊 Prepare for the Lake Monona Swim
The plan starts with a 12-week base phase that focuses on foundational strength and endurance. You'll practice key swim drills with video guidance to improve your technique and efficiency—essential for navigating the calm, one-loop course in Lake Monona. With structured heart rate-based swim sessions, you’ll build comfort and confidence in open water well before race day.
🚴 Conquer the Madison Hills
Over 24 weeks of race-specific training, you'll steadily build from 7 to 12 hours of weekly volume. Focused hill workouts and endurance rides prepare your body for the 2,000+ ft of climbing on the scenic 56-mile bike course through Madison’s countryside. By including progressive brick sessions, the plan trains your body to transition smoothly from bike to run—just like on race day.
🏃 Thrive on the Capitol Run
From rolling intervals to tempo efforts, your run workouts are carefully designed to reflect the rolling out-and-back course through downtown Madison, culminating in a powerful finish at the Capitol Building. Whether you're aiming to finish strong or hit a personal best, our plan builds both your physical endurance and mental resilience.
