Plan Description

Get race-ready for the Half Distance Triathlon in La Quinta with a proven, six-month training plan built to match the unique demands of this fast course. From the calm swim in Lake Cahuilla to the flat and scenic ride through Thermal Raceway, and the run along Silver Rock Golf Resort — every element of your training prepares you to perform with confidence on race day.

✅ Start with a Solid Base
Before starting the plan, you should be comfortably completing:

Swim: 1,500 meters continuously - Bike: 1–1.5 hours - Run: 60 minutes

A consistent base allows you to handle the early training volume and progress safely toward race readiness.

✅ Open-Water Swim Preparation
Train for Lake Cahuilla’s calm but chilly 57°F waters with specific wetsuit sessions and beach start practices. Weekly open-water skills and endurance swims build comfort and confidence.

✅ Fast, Flat Bike Power
With structured long rides and tempo sessions, you’ll gain the muscular endurance and speed to ride strong through the 56-mile loop, including the unique experience of riding through Thermal Raceway.

✅ Run Off the Bike with Strength
Brick workouts and progressive long runs simulate the flat, two-loop 13.1-mile run course. Strategic pacing and mental toughness sessions prepare you to finish fast and focused.

✅ Build Without Burnout
Training begins at 8 hours per week and builds to 12, progressing gradually to prevent overtraining. Ideal for master and senior athletes who prioritize smart, sustainable fitness.
