Experience the perfect blend of structure, progression, and purpose built for the stunning Half Distance Triathlon in Northern California. This 44-week plan strategically prepares you for the unique challenges of the Whiskeytown Lake swim, the rolling 56-mile Shasta County bike leg, and the scenic yet spirited run along the Sacramento River Trail and Sundial Bridge.
đ
Swim Prepared, Race Confident
Your training begins with open-water sessions and swim drills designed to build comfort, control, and rhythm in calm lake conditionsâmirroring the one-lap, 1.2-mile swim in Whiskeytown Lake. The plan progressively strengthens your endurance and efficiency for steady pacing in 76°F (24°C) waters, ensuring a composed and confident start to race day.
đ´ââď¸ Ride with Power and Precision
With workouts designed for variable terrain, this program simulates the rolling elevation and net descent of the Shasta County course. Structured bike sessions focus on power output, sustained tempo efforts, and handling efficiencyâideal for maintaining momentum through elevation changes. Weekly long rides and race-specific bricks build the strength and endurance needed to sustain speed through all 56 miles.
đââď¸ Run Strong from Start to Finish
Run sessions mirror the scenic yet technical flow of the Sacramento River Trail. Youâll develop muscular endurance and pacing discipline with structured tempo and negative-split runs, preparing you to thrive across bridges and parks, finishing strong near Reddingâs vibrant downtown finish line.
