Plan Description

The Dallas–Little Elm Half Distance Triathlon features a wetsuit-legal lake swim, fast and smooth rural roads, and a flat, spectator-friendly trail run—making it an ideal course for athletes who prepare with purpose. This 24-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan is meticulously crafted to prepare you for the unique demands of this race, ensuring you're race-ready on every leg.

⚠️ Prerequisite Training Required
You should be consistently training at least 6–7 hours per week and able to swim 1,500 yards, bike 90 minutes, and run 45 minutes comfortably. This plan begins with 9 hours of training in week 1 and peaks at 14.5 hours by week 19, incorporating Anaerobic Threshold Training and VO2 Max Intervals from the start—designed for high-performance amateurs seeking measurable results.

🌊 Swim: Prepared for Lewisville Lake
With open water sessions and stroke-specific drills, you'll gain confidence and efficiency for the likely wetsuit-legal 1.2-mile swim at Little Elm Beach. Swim workouts integrate seamlessly with compatible watches—ditch the paper and focus on performance.

🚴 Bike: Strong and Steady on Smooth Texas Roads
This flat, fast 56-mile course with no chip seal is rare in Texas. We match that with quality long rides, power-based intervals, and terrain simulation to build sustainable speed and confidence on quiet rural roads.

🏃 Run: Fast and Focused on Crushed Gravel Trails
The 13.1-mile, three-loop run course is flat, well-packed, and buzzing with spectator energy. Your training includes trail-specific bricks, run pacing intervals, and mental preparation techniques to thrive in a multi-loop environment.

🔥 Plan Benefits:

✅ Structured 3:1 Training Format – 3 weeks of progressive training, 1 week of recovery
✅ Data-Driven Workouts – Based on heart rate and power; fully Garmin-compatible
✅ Performance-Focused Strength Training – Targeted strength and mobility for triathletes
✅ VO2 Max, Threshold & ATP-PC Workouts – Boost every energy system for max performance
✅ Swim Tech Integration – Watch-based instructions for drill-focused efficiency
✅ Brick Workouts – Practice seamless transitions and build run strength off the bike

🎯 Includes personalized email coaching support—giving you direct access to expert guidance every step of the way.

🏋️‍♂️ Designed specifically for advanced amateur triathletes, this plan supports your pursuit of excellence. Let’s get to work.
