Plan Description

Prepare for success at the Half Distance Triathlon La Quinta with a 36-week training plan built specifically for athletes like you—those ready to take on Lake Cahuilla’s crisp waters, fly through the flat Thermal Raceway bike loop, and cruise the scenic, fast-paced run course at Silver Rock Golf Resort.

🌊 Swim Ready for La Quinta’s Lake Cahuilla:
Start with a 12-week base phase focused on swim mechanics, breathing efficiency, and endurance—essential for tackling the calm but chilly (57°F / 14°C) open water. Our plan includes video-based drills that improve form and boost your confidence from the sandy beach start.

🚴‍♂️ Crush the Fast, Flat 56-Mile Bike Loop:
Ride strong through La Quinta’s smooth terrain and Thermal Raceway with progressive bike workouts, heart rate zone guidance, and endurance-building sessions. You’ll be prepared to stay aero and efficient, conserving energy for the run.

🏃 Run Smart on the Scenic 13.1-Mile Course:
Train for the two-loop flat course around Silver Rock Golf Resort with speed intervals, tempo runs, and strength training that improve stamina and durability. Expect cheers and family support along the way—our plan gets you race-day ready to soak it all in.

✅ Key Benefits of This Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan:
✔️ Structured for beginners—no prior race experience required
✔️ 12-week foundation phase to build strength and technique
✔️ 24-week specific training to peak for La Quinta
✔️ Brick workouts to master bike-to-run transitions
✔️ Strength training with easy-to-follow video guidance*
✔️ Personalized email coach support to answer your questions and keep you on track

You don’t need to guess your way to the finish line. You need a plan—and a coach in your corner.

🎯 Take the first step toward your Half Distance Triathlon finish line at La Quinta.
Train with purpose. Race with confidence. Let’s get started today.
