Plan Description
For the performance-driven triathlete, the Half Distance Triathlon in Augusta, Georgia offers more than just a fast swim and scenic run—it’s a tactical race demanding discipline, precision pacing, and peak execution across all three disciplines.
Our 44-week advanced Half Distance Triathlon training plan is engineered specifically for experienced athletes aiming for competitive results on Augusta’s deceptively complex course.
🧠 Why This Plan Works for Augusta
✅ Swim: Leverage the Savannah River’s Current for Tactical Advantage
This 1.2-mile downstream swim can produce PRs—but only with proper stroke efficiency, pace discipline, and open water confidence.
✔️ Purpose-built open water workouts to refine sighting and tempo
✔️ High-cadence swim sets to optimize your catch and rotation
✔️ Intensity modulation for better speed control on race day
✅ Bike: Rolling Terrain That Demands Intelligent Power Output
With nearly 2,000 feet of climbing over 56 miles, Augusta's bike course is about knowing when to push and when to conserve.
✔️ Progressive tempo, threshold, and anaerobic sessions mimic race demands
✔️ Power-targeted long rides reinforce muscular endurance and fatigue resistance
✔️ Weekly bike-run bricks dial in race-day pacing and nutrition
✅ Run: Shaded Greeneway Trail with Subtle Elevation Challenges
The 13.1-mile run includes shaded miles and rolling gradients—perfect for negative splits if you pace it right.
✔️ VO2 max, lactate threshold, and aerobic endurance sessions
✔️ Specific run workouts mirror the terrain profile of the Augusta run course
✔️ Strength-focused mobility work to reinforce late-race resilience
