With a swim in Lucky Peak Reservoir, a scenic yet rolling bike through Boise’s countryside, and a warm half marathon along the Boise River Greenbelt, the Half Distance Triathlon Boise offers a course that rewards strategy, endurance, and preparation. Our 24-week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan, tailored for competitive Masters athletes over 40, is purpose-built to meet these exact demands—helping you train smarter, race stronger, and reduce injury risk.
Before beginning you should be able to:
Swim: 1,500 meters without difficulty
Bike: 30 miles with sustained effort
Run: At least 5 miles comfortably
🏊 Swim Preparation for Lucky Peak Reservoir
The 1.2-mile swim starts in the calm, wetsuit-legal waters of Barclay Bay. Our plan includes video-guided drills and structured swim workouts to improve technique, endurance, and sighting—crucial for the open-water conditions you’ll face.
🚴 Bike Training for Boise’s Rolling Terrain
Expect 56 miles of mixed elevation and tempo segments from Lucky Peak to downtown Boise. With heart rate and power-based rides, you’ll build stamina, leg strength, and pacing discipline to handle the rolling course and capitalize on its fast stretches.
🏃 Run Conditioning for the Warm Greenbelt Finish
Boise’s flat but potentially hot half marathon (average 81°F/27°C) demands smart pacing and heat tolerance. Our plan integrates long runs, and steady-state intervals to prepare you for both effort and environment.
