Beginner Half-Ironman Distance in 16 Weeks
This is a multimedia approach along with LINKS to drills, heart rate, and pace training so you know the purpose and effort of each workout.
Plan Overview
We also include an exclusive 2023 Swim, Bike, and Run Course Preview video specific to this event!
In addition to 16 week's worth of swimming, biking, running, and strength training workouts, we also include 16 VIDEOS; one before each week of training. Coach Wendy explains how each training block is organized and structured.
This plan is recommended for athletes who currently can:
- Swim 1,000 yards without stopping
- Bike 90 minutes

If you ticked all the boxes, you're ready to start!
This Half IronDistance Program aims to increase your weekly volume (time/distance) with added race-specific intensity.
Plan Structure
Here’s what you can expect:
- The first 4 weeks are designed to gradually build your mileage and skills so you can stay injury-free.
- The second 4 weeks add some intensity while continuing to build strength and endurance with a suggested event.
- The third 4 weeks maintain volume and focus on intensity
- While the last 4 weeks build in a gradual taper week to ensure you are recovered and ready to finish healthy and strong!
