Plan Description

The Half Distance Triathlon North Carolina features a 1.2-mile current-assisted swim in the saltwater channel of Wrightsville Beach, a fast, flat 56-mile bike course across scenic rural roads and the Cape Fear River, plus a challenging 13.1-mile run loop through downtown Wilmington with an iconic finish near the USS North Carolina.

This training plan is designed specifically to prepare you for every aspect of this demanding Half Distance Triathlon. Here’s how it helps you race your best:

✅ Build Aerobic Endurance & Strength: The 12-week Base Phase focuses on rebuilding your aerobic engine and functional strength, perfect for returning Masters athletes or those stepping up from shorter distances. This foundation matches the sustained effort needed for the swim and long bike ride.

✅ Enhance Swim Efficiency: Integrated swim sessions with video support teach efficient technique to tackle the rolling start swim confidently, optimizing your speed in the tide-assisted saltwater channel.

✅ Maximize Bike Power & Speed: The Build & Peak Phase includes targeted power and tempo workouts to boost your ability to hold a fast, steady pace on the flat, fast rural roads and river crossing.

✅ Improve Race-Ready Run Fitness: Brick workouts combine bike-to-run training to prepare you for the unique demands of transitioning and maintaining pace on the scenic yet challenging run route through Wilmington’s downtown.

✅ Focus on Recovery & Injury Prevention: The plan’s 3:1 training load and recovery cycles minimize injury risk and fatigue, ensuring you arrive fresh and ready on race day.

✅ Strength Training Tailored for Masters: Specialized strength workouts preserve muscle, enhance durability, and improve overall race performance—key for athletes over 40.

✅ Personalized Support: Receive email coaching tailored to your progress, ensuring expert guidance and motivation throughout your Half Distance Triathlon journey.

This Half Distance Triathlon training plan balances time-efficient workouts with scientific precision, starting around 7.5 hours per week and peaking near 12 hours, helping you train smart around a busy lifestyle.
