Plan Description

Training for the Half Distance Triathlon in North Carolina means preparing for a fast, flat bike course, a current-assisted ocean swim, and a scenic downtown run โ€” and this 36-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan is your ultimate tool to crush it.

๐ŸŒŠ Swim-Ready:
Wrightsville Beach offers a current-assisted 1.2-mile swim โ€” and youโ€™ll be ready to capitalize. The first 12 weeks emphasize swim technique and strength to build confidence in open water. Weekly swim drills and video instruction sharpen your form while early integration of VOโ‚‚ intervals improves speed and oxygen efficiency, ideal for this fast-flowing channel.

๐Ÿšด Crush the Bike:
The 56-mile flat and fast ride through rural roads and across the Cape Fear River requires muscular endurance and sustained effort. Our structured Half Distance Triathlon bike workouts focus on heart rate and power-based intervals that simulate real course conditions. Regular brick sessions build your strength and prep you for smooth transitions.

๐Ÿƒ Dominate the Run:
With a 13.1-mile loop through historic Wilmington โ€” including a โ€œhot cornerโ€ and a finish near the USS North Carolina โ€” pacing is critical. Our plan includes endurance track sessions, tempo drills, and race-pace efforts so youโ€™re prepared physically and mentally for the final push to the line.

โœ… Key Benefits of This Plan:
โœ”๏ธ 36-week roadmap tailored for the Half Distance Triathlon North Carolina course
