Take your first step toward the Half Distance Triathlon Omaha with a plan built for you—the first-time athlete ready to make the leap into triathlon. This 36-week program gently guides you from your first training session to race day, preparing you for the calm waters of Lake Cunningham, the rolling bike course through Nebraska’s countryside, and the scenic Missouri River run over the iconic Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge.

The opening 12 weeks focus on building your fitness gradually, with no prior experience or high mileage required. You’ll learn efficient swim technique through easy-to-follow video drills, build confidence on the bike with manageable rides, and improve your running form step-by-step. Every workout is designed to feel achievable, helping you see progress without feeling overwhelmed.

In the final 24 weeks, your training time increases at a comfortable pace—from 7 hours in week one to a maximum of 12 hours per week—introducing longer rides that mirror Omaha’s rolling hills, open-water practice for Lake Cunningham, and run sessions that prepare you for the flat riverside trails and bridge crossings into Council Bluffs. Brick workouts help you get used to the unique feeling of transitioning between disciplines, so you’re ready for the full race-day experience.

You’ll also have guided strength sessions with video demonstrations, ensuring proper form and building injury-resistant strength. And you’re never alone—you’ll have direct email access to your coach for encouragement, answers, and support.
