Plan Description

If you're gearing up for the Half Distance Triathlon in Michigan, this is your opportunity to train with intention and cross the finish line feeling strong, fast, and fulfilled. From the protected swim in Betsie Bay to the scenic, rolling bike route on M-22 and the energized run through Frankfort and Elberta, our 6-Month Advanced Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is designed specifically to prepare you for every turn, every climb, and every stride of this unforgettable course.

But here’s the catch: prior training or a solid mileage foundation is essential. Without it, jumping into this plan would be like trying to build a skyscraper on unstable ground. You need a strong base to support the breakthroughs that lie ahead.

If you’ve done the work and laid that foundation, you’re ready for a transformative journey that will push your limits and unlock your true athletic potential.

🔥 Here’s how the plan sets you up for success on race day:

✅ Swim Training for Betsie Bay
Prepare for a calm, one-loop swim with structured sessions that build open water confidence, efficient technique, and endurance—ideal for the consistent conditions Michigan offers.

✅ Bike Workouts Matched to M-22 Terrain
From flat stretches to rolling hills, the plan mimics this iconic course with focused tempo rides, hill work, and power intervals—so you can ride steady, surge when needed, and enjoy the view.

✅ Run Sessions Designed for Michigan's Coastal Pathways
Train on mostly flat, paved surfaces to replicate the out-and-back loops around Betsie Bay. Build race-day pacing and mental strength through double-loop long runs and race-effort bricks.

✅ Peak Performance Training Blocks Include:

🏃‍♀️ Endurance Aerobic Miles – Build stamina for long-course success

🚴 VO2 Max Intervals – Expand your capacity and push beyond limits

💪 Anaerobic Threshold Sessions – Race harder, hold faster paces longer

🏃‍♂️ Anaerobic Power Intervals – Develop speed and strength for surges and hills

This plan starts at 9.5 hours per week and peaks at 14 hours—every session crafted for experienced athletes ready to level up. And you’re never training alone: you’ll receive personalized email support from a dedicated coach to answer questions, fine-tune your approach, and keep you progressing.

👉 If you're serious about showing up strong at the Half Distance Triathlon in Michigan, now’s the time. Invest in your performance and train like you mean it.

🏁 Race day is coming. Be ready to rise.
