Plan Description
If you're targeting the Half Distance Triathlon in Washington’s Tri-Cities, this 36-week Intermediate Triathlon Training Plan is built to guide you to the finish line strong, confident, and ready for every mile of the course. Whether it’s the downstream swim, scenic bike ride through wine country, or flat run along the Columbia River, this plan is specifically designed to prepare your body and mind for race-day performance.
✅ Structured 12-Week Base Phase
You’ll begin by developing a rock-solid endurance foundation. This phase gradually increases training volume while introducing strength work and technique refinement—perfect for adapting to the 1.2-mile downstream swim in the cool waters of the Columbia River.
✅ Comprehensive Strength Training from Day One
Strength work isn’t an add-on—it’s a core pillar of this plan. You’ll build muscular resilience that supports efficiency and injury resistance, critical for the 56-mile ride across rolling Eastern Washington terrain.
✅ 24-Week Progressive Race-Specific Build
Starting in week 13, your training intensifies—ramping from 7 to 12.5 hours per week—strategically aligned to mimic the unique demands of the Half Distance Triathlon. Expect open-water swim prep, long aerobic rides, and brick workouts that simulate the transition from bike to run, just like you’ll experience at Columbia Point Park.
✅ Race-Paced Intensity + Smart Intervals
You’ll train with purpose—through targeted VO₂ max sessions, tempo efforts, anaerobic threshold workouts, and long runs that match the flat, fast, and exposed run course. This ensures you're ready for the steady pacing and mental endurance needed on race day.
✅ Expert Video Support + Personalized Coaching
From swimming drills to bike intervals and functional strength sessions, everything is paired with video guidance. Plus, your purchase includes direct email access to a certified triathlon coach—so you're never training alone.
🏁 Whether you're returning to triathlon or chasing a personal best, this plan gives you the structure, support, and smart training strategies to succeed at the Half Distance Triathlon Washington Tri-Cities.
👉 Start your journey today and train with confidence—your best race is waiting.
