Are you preparing for your first Half Distance Triathlon or aiming to achieve a personal best? Our 44-Week Advanced Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is expertly designed to guide you to race-day success at the Jones Beach Half Distance Triathlon, one of New York’s most scenic and unique courses.
With a calm 1.2-mile swim in Zach’s Bay, a fast and flat 56-mile bike on the closed Wantagh Parkway, and a stunning 13.1-mile run along the Jones Beach Boardwalk, this race demands more than just grit—it requires a strategic, progressive training plan.
✅ Built for the Unique Demands of the Jones Beach Course
You’ll build confidence swimming in open water conditions similar to the protected, calm waters of Zach’s Bay. Our plan gradually increases your swim endurance and technique to help you stay composed and efficient.
✅ Prepare for Speed and Consistency on the Bike
The smooth, uninterrupted Wantagh Parkway rewards cyclists who can maintain steady power over long distances. You’ll benefit from bike workouts that develop sustained aerobic capacity, simulate race-day terrain, and include bricks to master bike-to-run transitions.
✅ Run Strong to the Finish Line on the Iconic Boardwalk
The plan includes targeted running sessions, from aerobic base work to anaerobic threshold runs, preparing your legs and lungs for the flat but exposed boardwalk stretch. You'll be ready to push through fatigue and finish strong.
