Plan Description
You don’t need to be a seasoned triathlete to cross that finish line in Wilmington—you just need a plan that believes in your potential as much as you do. The Half Distance Triathlon North Carolina is a powerful challenge: a 1.2-mile swim through the saltwater channel of Wrightsville Beach, a flat 56-mile ride across the scenic Cape Fear River, and a 13.1-mile run through the heart of historic downtown. And this 36-week training plan is built specifically to get beginners like you to that finish line—strong, prepared, and proud.
🌊 Swim Calm, Confident, and Current-Assisted
If you’ve never swum in open water, don’t worry—we’ve got you. You’ll start with video-based swim drills that teach technique, breathing, and comfort in the water. By race day, you’ll feel at home in the current-assisted Wrightsville channel.
🚴 Build Strength for the Fast, Flat Bike Course
We know 56 miles can sound intimidating—but you’ll start with manageable rides and gradually build endurance, confidence, and consistency. Every workout is based on effort (RPE/Heart Rate), not speed or numbers. It’s all about how you feel and grow.
🏃 Run the Streets of Wilmington with Heart
This course finishes with a run full of energy, community, and history. You’ll be ready for it thanks to our gradual run progression and brick workouts that help your legs adapt after biking. Your body will know what to do—step by step.
💪 Strength Training That Fits Real Life
Even if you've never lifted a weight before, our plan includes easy-to-follow video strength sessions designed to prevent injury and improve your posture, balance, and total-body power.
✨ You Don’t Have to Be Fast—You Just Have to Start
Every session is designed to meet you where you are. You’ll begin with 7 hours per week, slowly growing to 12. You’ll train with intention, not intensity. You’ll feel proud—not overwhelmed.
📩 Need Help? You’re Never Alone
With personalized email coach support, you can ask questions, get advice, and feel reassured every step of the way. You’ve got a guide in your corner who truly cares.
This is more than a training plan—it’s a path toward a stronger version of you. Whether you’re nervous, excited, or somewhere in between—you’re ready.
👉 Take the first step toward your Half Distance Triathlon finish line today. We’ll take every next step together.
