The Half Distance Triathlon in Omaha delivers a stunning yet challenging race day — from the calm 1.2-mile swim in Lake Cunningham to the rolling 56-mile bike ride through Nebraska’s countryside, finishing with a scenic 13.1-mile run over the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge. This 36-week advanced training plan is built to prepare you for every moment of that experience.
.
Starting with a 12-week base phase to develop functional strength and aerobic fitness, you’ll then transition into a 24-week race-specific phase targeting the exact skills needed for Omaha’s course. The program follows a proven 3:1 structure — three weeks of progressive training followed by one week of recovery — beginning at 9.5 training hours per week and peaking at 14.5 hours.
