Plan Description
The Half Distance Michigan Triathlon is a stunning test of endurance and skill, featuring a 1.2-mile swim in calm Betsie Bay waters, a scenic 56-mile bike course along Michigan’s iconic M-22, and a mostly flat 13.1-mile run connecting Frankfort and Elberta. To confidently tackle this course and maximize your race day performance, a structured, focused training plan is essential.
Our comprehensive Half Distance Triathlon training plan is expertly designed to prepare you physically and mentally for every aspect of this challenging event:
✅ Build a strong foundation with a 12-week base regimen—no prior training needed. This phase develops your endurance and aerobic capacity, setting the stage for race-specific work.
✅ Engage in a 32-week specialized training program structured in progressive 3 weeks of intense training followed by 1 week of active recovery. This cycle optimizes adaptation, prevents burnout, and ensures consistent progress.
✅ Follow a gradual workload increase, starting at about 9.5 hours weekly and peaking at 14 hours, preparing you for the demands of the swim, bike, and run legs of the Half Distance Triathlon Michigan course.
✅ Train like an amateur advanced athlete with targeted strength training, progressing from functional exercises to conventional strength routines that improve endurance, power, and injury resilience.
✅ Develop all critical physiological systems, including endurance base aerobic training, V02 max intervals, anaerobic threshold workouts, anaerobic power sets, and sprint-focused ATP-PC training to enhance your swim speed, bike power, and run stamina.
By following this plan, you’ll gain confidence in navigating Betsie Bay’s protected swim, maintain steady momentum through the rolling hills and flat stretches of the bike course, and sustain a strong pace on the mostly flat run loops. This targeted preparation translates into a race day experience marked by control, efficiency, and excitement.
