Plan Description
If you're eyeing the Half Distance Triathlon North Carolina, this 36-week Advanced Training Plan is built to get you across the finish line fast, confident, and strong. From the current-assisted swim in Wrightsville Beach to the flat, fast bike ride through rural North Carolina, and the lively run through historic Wilmington—this plan prepares you for every challenge.
🔥 Here’s how this triathlon training plan prepares you for the Half Distance Triathlon North Carolina:
✅ Swim-Ready for Wrightsville Beach:
Train with focused swim sessions that improve open water technique and efficiency. You’ll be fully prepped to capitalize on the swift, tide-assisted saltwater channel.

Structured bike workouts build sustained power and endurance—ideal for hammering through the flat 56-mile course and tackling headwinds over the Cape Fear River.
✅ Strong Finish on the Run:
We integrate tempo runs, aerobic miles, and threshold training to prepare your legs and lungs for the scenic, high-energy 13.1-mile loop—right through the “hot corner” and to the iconic finish near the USS North Carolina. 🏃♂️🏃♀️
✅ Gradual Weekly Progression:
Starts at 9.5 hours/week and peaks at 14.5, allowing your body to adapt safely and efficiently without burnout.
✅ Elite Training Phases for Race-Day Success:
💥 V02 Max & Anaerobic Threshold sessions for speed
🧱 Endurance aerobic base building
🔁 ATP-PC sprint intervals for late-race strength
🧗♀️ Hill accelerations for explosive power gains
💪 Functional strength to enhance durability
✅ Periodized 3/1 Structure:
Three weeks of progressive training followed by one week of active recovery to absorb gains and prevent injury.
