Plan Description
Take on the Half Distance Triathlon Dallas–Little Elm fully prepared with a training plan built to match the course’s unique demands—designed for dedicated amateur advanced athletes ready to train with purpose and race with confidence.
✅ Swim Ready for Lewisville Lake
Train for the one-loop 1.2-mile open water swim with targeted endurance sets, open-water simulation workouts, and pacing strategies that prepare you for potential wetsuit-legal conditions. Weekly swim technique sessions help you feel strong and efficient in cooler water temperatures typical in March.
✅ Crush the Fast, Flat Texas Bike Course
The 56-mile ride features gently rolling hills and smooth rural roads—no chip seal here! This plan builds progressive bike strength and muscular endurance through tempo rides, long aerobic intervals, and threshold efforts. Your legs will be conditioned to stay strong and steady across this scenic Texas terrain.
✅ Dominate the Rolling 3-Loop Run
The 13.1-mile run on crushed gravel trails and residential roads calls for smart pacing and run durability. Your plan includes long runs, brick sessions, and terrain-specific workouts to build stamina and foot strength for trail conditions. The looped format means mental focus and pacing are key—skills you’ll sharpen throughout this program.
✅ Built-In Recovery for Sustainable Gains
With a proven 3:1 build-to-recover training structure, you'll avoid burnout while consistently improving. Weekly hours range from 9.5 to 14, ramping strategically to peak performance in Week 39.

💨 VO₂ Max Intervals
