Plan Description

The Half Distance Triathlon Waco Texas is a demanding race that combines a 1.2-mile swim down the calm Brazos River, a 56-mile bike through rolling Texas countryside, and a scenic 13.1-mile run along the Brazos River trail. To race this course with confidence and peak performance, you need a training plan designed specifically for the unique challenges of this Half Distance Triathlon.

Our 36-week Advanced Training Plan is crafted precisely to prepare you for every element of the Half Distance Triathlon Waco Texas. From mastering the steady, technical downriver swim to building the endurance and power necessary to attack the rolling bike course, and finally, sustaining speed and mental toughness on the single-loop river run — this plan ensures you’re race-ready.

Key benefits of this comprehensive Half Distance Triathlon training plan include:

✅ Progressive Endurance Build-Up: Starting with a 12-week solid foundation, you gradually increase your weekly training hours from 9.5 to 14.5, perfectly matching the race’s endurance demands.

✅ Specialized Swim Technique Work: Swim sessions focus on improving your efficiency and comfort in open water, preparing you for the calm 65°F Brazos River conditions.

✅ Bike Power & Speed Development: Training includes intervals and sustained efforts to develop the strength needed to navigate the 56-mile course’s rolling hills and flat stretches at speed.

✅ Run Strength & Stamina: Structured run workouts enhance your aerobic base and prepare you to maintain pace across the 13.1-mile trail run, with a strong finish on the historic Waco Suspension Bridge.

✅ Balanced Training Rhythm: Utilizing a proven 3-week hard training + 1-week active recovery cycle, this plan optimizes performance gains while minimizing injury risk.

✅ Advanced Aerobic and Anaerobic Conditioning: Incorporates VO2 max, anaerobic threshold, and sprint power training to ensure you can handle surges and maintain speed throughout all three disciplines.
