Plan Description

This 36-Week Advanced Training Plan is expertly built to prepare you for the unique demands of this spectacular course โ€” from the fast-flowing swim to the scenic bike ride and the riverside run.

โœ… Swim Like a Pro in the Columbia River
This plan prepares you for the 1.2-mile downstream swim by incorporating open water technique drills, pacing strategies, and sighting practice โ€” all critical for navigating from Howard Amon Park to Columbia Point Park with ease and speed.

โœ… Power Through the Eastern Washington Hills
With 1,800 feet of elevation over 56 miles, this bike course demands strength and stamina. Our program strategically includes:

๐Ÿšด Climbing Acceleration Intervals

๐Ÿ’ฅ Anaerobic Power Sprints

๐Ÿ”„ Functional Strength & Traditional Strength Blocks
Each week builds your ability to handle rolling terrain, headwinds, and technical turns through wine country and countryside roads.

โœ… Run Strong Along the Columbia River
The flat, paved 13.1-mile run calls for aerobic efficiency and mental focus. Our plan builds this through:

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ Endurance Aerobic Mile Training

๐Ÿ” VOโ‚‚ Max Intervals

๐Ÿง  Race-Pace Mental Rehearsals
The result? A steady, confident run through parks and trails with gorgeous river views and no surprise fatigue.

๐Ÿ” Proven Structure for Peak Results

โœ”๏ธ 12-week base phase to build durability

โœ”๏ธ 24-week progressive Half Distance Triathlon phase

โœ”๏ธ 3:1 training rhythm to optimize gains & recovery

โœ”๏ธ Gradual build from 9.5 to 14.5 hours/week to prevent burnout
