Plan Description

Train Smart for the Half Distance Wisconsin Triathlon: A Strategic Approach to Race-Specific Success

This 44-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan is designed specifically to help you excel on race day in Madison, with each phase supporting the physical and mental demands of this course.

🏊‍♂️ Lake Monona Swim Preparation
The plan progressively builds your open-water swim endurance, focusing on bilateral breathing, sighting, and maintaining form over long, uninterrupted distances—perfect for navigating the single-loop, clockwise course at Law Park Beach. Simulated race-pace intervals prepare you for the rolling swim start and the mid-70s water temperature typical in Lake Monona.

🚴‍♂️ Conquer the Madison Hills
Expect over 2,000 ft of climbing on the 56-mile bike route through the rural hills of Dane County. This plan incorporates targeted hill training, sustained threshold intervals, and long tempo rides to build climbing power and endurance. Strength sessions emphasize lower-body stability and neuromuscular control—essential for managing hilly terrain efficiently and conserving energy for the run.

🏃‍♂️ Run Strong Through Downtown Madison
The out-and-back 13.1-mile course through downtown is gently rolling and energetic. Your run training includes long progression runs, brick workouts, and anaerobic threshold sessions to help you maintain pace through fatigue. Mental preparation is woven throughout the program to help you finish strong on the steps of the Capitol Building.
