Plan Description

Are you preparing to race the Half Distance Triathlon in Michigan? Our Six-Month Intermediate Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is your complete roadmap to success—designed specifically for athletes like you who are ready to level up and make race day unforgettable. Before beginning it's essential to establish a strong foundation of base mileage that effortlessly propels you through an Olympic distance triathlon.

🏊‍♂️ Swim Preparation for Betsie Bay
The calm, protected waters of Betsie Bay provide an ideal setting for a one-loop, 1.2-mile swim. Our plan integrates consistent open-water simulation workouts and structured intervals, helping you build confidence and control in variable conditions. With water temps averaging 65°F (18°C), you’ll be race-day ready to glide efficiently from start to finish.

🚴‍♂️ Bike the Iconic M-22 with Strength and Strategy
The scenic 56-mile bike course mixes rolling hills and flat terrain along Michigan’s famed M-22. Our plan includes progressive endurance rides, intervals, and power-focused workouts that mirror this exact terrain—equipping you to maintain a steady cadence while conquering climbs and capitalizing on flats.

🏃‍♂️ Run Strong Around Betsie Bay
With two out-and-back loops on paved paths through Frankfort and Elberta, the 13.1-mile run is largely flat—perfect for maintaining pace if you’re well-trained. Our running workouts include tempo efforts, negative split runs, and brick sessions to sharpen your endurance and ensure a confident finish.
