Plan Description

Half Distance Triathlon Vichy Training Plan: Designed for Race Day Success

This 36-week beginner triathlon training plan is your all-in-one solution—specifically built to help you thrive in the warm waters of Lac d’Allier, power through the rolling Auvergne countryside, and finish strong along the Allier River.

This Half Distance Triathlon plan is beginner-friendly and requires no prior race experience. It gradually builds your endurance, speed, and race-day confidence—while giving you expert structure every step of the way.

✅ Swim-Ready for Lac d’Allier
Start with guided swim drills and video-supported technique sessions to develop efficiency in calm, freshwater conditions. With water temperatures averaging 24–26°C (75–79°F), you’ll be well-prepared for wetsuit-legal or non-wetsuit racing.

🚴‍♂️ Conquer the Côte de Saint-Antoine de Cusset
Ride-focused workouts progress weekly, targeting rolling terrain and moderate climbs. The plan builds strength and stamina with endurance rides, tempo sessions, and key long bricks—so you’re ready to handle the 700m (2,300 ft) elevation gain and fly across the smooth tarmac of the French countryside.

🏃‍♀️ Finish Strong Along the Allier River
Run training focuses on pacing, heart rate control, and heat management—perfect for the two-loop riverside course in Vichy. Interval work and long runs prepare you for race-day conditions, while frequent brick workouts simulate the final leg under real triathlon fatigue.

💪 Strength Work with Precision
Integrated strength sessions include step-by-step instructional videos* to boost injury resistance and form—ideal for beginners and master athletes alike.

📩 Bonus: Personalized Email Coach Support
Get answers, guidance, and motivation throughout your training journey. You’re not doing this alone.

🎯 Whether you're chasing your first finish line or looking to improve, this plan gives you the structure, support, and race-specific preparation needed to cross the Half Distance Triathlon Vichy finish line with confidence.

👉 Start your Vichy journey today and train smarter with personalized support from real coaches.
