This 36-week plan starts with a 12-week base phase to establish aerobic efficiency, strength, and swim technique. From there, a focused 24-week build phase helps you peak right on race day.
Here’s how the plan prepares you specifically for the Augusta Half Distance Triathlon:
✅ Fast River Swim Simulation – Develop strong open-water technique with sessions designed to prepare you for Augusta’s 1.2-mile point-to-point, current-assisted swim in the Savannah River. Practice pacing and sighting to glide under the 5th Street Bridge confidently.
🚴 Bike Strength for Rolling Terrain – With nearly 2,000 feet of elevation, Augusta’s 56-mile ride demands sustained power and smart energy management. Our plan includes:
Climbing acceleration intervals for hill endurance
Power sprint work to sharpen your flat-section speed
Anaerobic threshold rides for maximum efficiency on descents and rollers
🏃 Run-Ready for Augusta’s Greeneway – Tackle the 13.1-mile run with confidence. Over 9 miles of shade? You’ll be ready thanks to:
Progressive long runs for sustained endurance
Tempo sessions and VO2 intervals for late-race stamina
Race pace bricks for smooth transitions and real-world simulation
🔥 Training goes from 9.5 to 14.5 hours/week, using a proven 3 weeks on, 1 week recovery cycle—ensuring performance gains without burnout.
💪 Plus, structured functional and traditional strength training, swim drills for form efficiency, and ATP-PC intervals to boost late-race speed.
