Plan Description
Half Distance Triathlon Vichy Training Plan – Built for Precision, Progress, and Performance
Our 24-Week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is built for amateur triathletes ready to rise to the challenge and compete with purpose.
🔥 Prerequisite Training Required:
Before diving into this intense 24-week journey, build a solid Aerobic System foundation. Don't jump in unprepared! Our plan kicks off with a 25-minute Anaerobic Threshold Interval Training session in week one, setting the pace for the challenging road ahead.
🌊 Swim Preparation – 1.9 KM
The training plan includes open water simulation workouts, swim pacing intervals, and technical drills tailored for a single-loop lake swim. You’ll be ready for the warm, non-wetsuit-possible conditions of Lac d’Allier and the visual clarity of this rectangular course.
🚴 Bike Preparation – 90 KM
With 700 meters of elevation and iconic segments like the côte de Saint-Antoine de Cusset, the Vichy bike leg blends rolling terrain with fast flats and moderate climbs. This plan incorporates:
✅ Power-based hill intervals
✅ Endurance rides on varied terrain
✅ Brick sessions to sharpen bike-to-run transitions
✅ Aerodynamic positioning workouts for time trial efficiency
🏃 Run Preparation – 21.1 KM
The flat, spectator-rich run along the Allier River demands heat resilience and smart pacing. Our plan prepares you with:
✅ Tempo efforts simulating multi-loop flat courses
✅ Interval sessions aligned with your threshold pace
