The Intermediate 36-Week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is specifically built to prepare you for the unique demands of the Dallas–Little Elm Half Distance Triathlon. With its wetsuit-legal lake swim, smooth rural bike course, and flat, fast trail run, this race rewards athletes who train with purpose, precision, and consistency. That’s exactly what this plan delivers.
.
✅ Swim-Ready from the Start
Lewisville Lake’s 1.2-mile open water swim is a one-loop course likely to be wetsuit-legal. That’s why we emphasize early-season strength and technique work, progressing to open water tempo sets and sighting drills – so you hit the beach confident, calm, and fast.
.
🚴 Dialed in for Dallas Roads
The 56-mile bike course rolls through quiet, chip-seal-free Texas backroads. This plan prepares your legs for steady-state efforts and subtle elevation changes, with weekly power-based intervals, long endurance rides, and brick workouts that simulate race conditions.
.
🏃 Run the Trails with Power and Efficiency
With three flat and fast loops on crushed gravel trails, the 13.1-mile run demands endurance and pacing. You’ll benefit from progressive run volume, aerobic threshold intervals, and late-phase VO2 and anaerobic sets – all designed to help you hold form and finish strong.
