From the calm waters of Lake Monona to the rolling Madison hills and the energetic streets of downtown, this iconic race demands strength, strategy, and stamina. That’s exactly what our 44-Week Intermediate Training Plan delivers—structured progression, expert support, and performance-driven sessions that prepare you for every element of race day.
🌊 Swim Smart in Lake Monona
Begin with a one-loop open water swim marked every 100 yards—a course that rewards comfort and pacing. Our plan builds your confidence in open water from Day 1, with progressive swim workouts, technique-focused drills, and open water swim simulations to ensure you're ready for the clockwise course and smooth "Rolling Start."
🚴♀️ Power Through the Madison Hills
The 56-mile bike course blends scenic farmland with over 2,000 feet of climbing. You'll tackle strength-focused rides, intervals, and power-based tempo sessions that sharpen your climbing legs and boost endurance. Strategic brick workouts prepare you for that critical bike-to-run transition.
🏃 Run Strong into Downtown Madison
The out-and-back 13.1-mile run finishes at the stunning Capitol Building—but not before you manage the rolling terrain. Our training plan builds aerobic endurance and run efficiency with long runs, threshold workouts, and speed sessions. You'll enter T2 prepared, and leave it with purpose.
