Plan Description
This course delivers a flat, fast challenge across international borders, starting with a 1.9km tidal-free swim in Sluis, followed by a scenic 90km bike through Flanders and the Netherlands, and finishing with a vibrant 21.1km run along the Zeedijk beachfront. To perform at your peak on this dynamic course, you need a training plan built specifically for it—and that’s exactly what this 44-week Intermediate Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan delivers.
✅ Course-Specific Preparation:
Train for the calm waters of the Damsche Vaart with targeted open water swim sets, technique drills, and race simulation workouts—designed to build confidence for a wave-free start.
✅ Fast, Flat Bike Conditioning:
Master the single-loop 90km course with structured endurance and tempo rides that mirror the flat, wind-exposed terrain between Retranchement and Knokke-Heist. Your power and pacing strategies will be honed with precision.
✅ Run Strong to the Finish:
The three-loop beachside run is spectator-heavy and mentally demanding. Your training will include progression runs, heart-rate guided long runs, and brick sessions to simulate race-day fatigue and sharpen mental focus.
💪 Total Performance Package:
You’ll benefit from a well-rounded approach that includes strength training, VO₂ max intervals, anaerobic threshold sessions, and mobility work—everything needed to withstand the long training build and peak on race day.
📅 From Zero to Finish Line in 44 Weeks:
No base fitness required. We start with a 12-week base phase, then progress through 32 weeks of specific Half Distance Triathlon training. Workouts scale from 9 to 14 hours/week, building your endurance, speed, and resilience.
🎥 Expert Guidance, Every Step:
Your plan includes video-based swim drills, strength workouts, and structured bike/run sessions using heart rate and power.
