This 44-week Half Distance Triathlon Beginner Training Plan is designed to prepare you thoroughly for the unique demands of the Dallas–Little Elm course. With a scenic and wetsuit-legal swim, a smooth rural bike ride, and a fast, hard-packed gravel run, this course rewards athletes who arrive ready with strength, endurance, and smart pacing. That’s exactly what this plan delivers.

💥 How this plan gets you race-ready:

🌊 Swim: The one-loop, 1.2-mile swim in Lewisville Lake demands endurance and comfort in open water. Our program includes targeted swim technique work and video-based drills to improve form and efficiency. You'll be ready for a calm, confident start at Little Elm Beach—even in cooler March waters.

🚴 Bike: With no chip seal and minimal elevation, the 56-mile ride on smooth, rural Texas roads begs for steady power and smart pacing. This plan includes RPE and heart-rate-based workouts to dial in your endurance and pacing skills for a strong ride on fast, rolling terrain.

🏃‍♂️ Run: A 13.9-mile, three-loop course on firm crushed gravel requires consistent running mechanics and mental grit. Our structured run sessions help you manage intensity, build resilience, and prepare for the loops packed with energy, community support, and triathlon camaraderie.
