Plan Description
Master the unique demands of this spectacular race with a proven plan built for experienced athletes over 40. From the calm waters of Zach’s Bay to the smooth, fast lanes of the Wantagh Parkway and the iconic Jones Beach Boardwalk, this race demands a tailored approach. Our Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is specifically designed to prepare you for each challenge the course delivers—with precision, structure, and purpose.
🌊 Open-Water Swim Prep in Protected Bay Conditions
You'll gain confidence for the 1.2-mile counter-clockwise swim through regular technique-focused swim workouts, including video drills. These sessions simulate the open-water dynamics of Zach’s Bay, helping you manage pacing and effort efficiently at an average water temperature of 65°F (18°C).
🚴 Bike Strength and Pacing for the Closed Parkway Ride
The 56-mile bike course on the fully closed Wantagh Parkway is flat, fast, and repetitive. Our plan builds power, pacing discipline, and fatigue resistance with long steady-state efforts, power-based intervals, and recovery timing—exactly what you need to handle two loops confidently before returning to transition.
🏃 Durable Legs for the Scenic Boardwalk Run
The final 13.1-mile run along the Jones Beach Boardwalk is beautiful—but exposed. This plan prepares you with brick workouts and run-specific sessions targeting race-day pace under fatigue. Strength sessions also improve durability to help you maintain form across the sand-blown stretch to the finish.
