Plan Description
Ready to race the Half Distance Triathlon in Wrightsville Beach and Wilmington? This course is flat, fast, and unforgettable — and your training should be just as dialed in. Our 44-week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is specifically designed to get you fully prepared for the unique demands of the Half Distance Triathlon North Carolina, from the current-assisted swim to the fast bike course and energetic downtown run.
✅ Tuned for Fast Swims
The plan builds open water confidence early and often, with swim workouts designed to prepare you for the saltwater channel at Wrightsville Beach. You'll train with drills and tempo intervals to handle a rolling start and take full advantage of the incoming tide.
🚴 Conquer the Fast and Flat Bike
With a bike course that’s fast, flat, and exposed, your training will include progressive endurance rides, power-based intervals, and specific sessions targeting sustained speed on long rural stretches — just like the 56-mile ride through coastal North Carolina.
🏃 Dial in Your Race-Day Run
Downtown Wilmington brings both energy and heat. That’s why our plan integrates tempo runs, brick workouts, and race-pace simulation sessions to sharpen your pacing and run durability.
💪 Built-in Strength & Technique Focus
Structured strength training phases enhance durability, support injury prevention, and elevate performance. You'll develop speed, power, and form with focused drills — including swim technique, bike handling, and run mechanics.
📈 Progressive, Smart, and Personalized
Begin with no base fitness and build confidently over 44 weeks — from 9 to 14 hours per week — with expert-designed workouts that evolve with you. It’s tailored for the intermediate triathlete aiming to finish strong and race with confidence.
