The Half Distance Triathlon Dallas-Little Elm presents a unique race environment featuring a 1.2-mile swim in Lewisville Lake, a 56-mile mostly flat and scenic bike course through rural Texas, and a rolling 13.9-mile run on smooth crushed gravel trails. This diverse course requires a well-rounded, focused training approach to maximize your performance on race day.

Our 36-Week Advanced Training Blueprint for the Half Distance Triathlon Dallas-Little Elm is expertly designed to prepare you for every element of this race. Beginning with a 12-week foundational phase, the plan builds to a 24-week targeted regimen crafted to meet the specific demands of the Half Distance Triathlon distance.

Here’s how the training plan perfectly aligns with the race course:

✔️ Swim Preparation: The plan emphasizes swim technique and endurance for the 1.2-mile lake swim. With water temperatures typically wetsuit-legal, you’ll develop the strength and efficiency to handle the open water start and finish at Little Elm Beach with confidence.

✔️ Bike Endurance and Power: The 56-mile bike leg rolls through gentle terrain on smooth rural roads with no chip seal, making it ideal for sustained power output. Our training incorporates aerobic endurance rides and anaerobic power intervals to help you maintain speed and tackle subtle rolling hills effortlessly.

✔️ Run Strength and Consistency: The 13.9-mile run on the crushed gravel nature trails requires strength and stamina over a rolling, three-loop course. The training includes specific threshold and power sprint workouts to build your ability to handle the course’s consistent surface and maintain a fast pace in race-day conditions.

✔️ Structured Progression: Using a proven 3-week hard, 1-week recovery cycle, your training will steadily increase from 9.5 to 14.5 hours weekly, ensuring optimal fitness gains while minimizing injury risk.

✔️ Comprehensive Conditioning: Beyond endurance, the plan develops functional and traditional strength, VO2 max capacity, anaerobic threshold, and ATP-PC power to give you a competitive edge throughout the swim, bike, and run legs.

This Half Distance Triathlon training plan delivers a strategic, science-backed approach tailored to the unique demands of Dallas-Little Elm’s course. With personalized email coach support included, you gain expert guidance every step of the way.
