Plan Description

When you cross the finish line of a marathon, you’ve accomplished something very, very special.

Especially designed for age group triathletes, the goal of this 24-week Half Marathon Training Plan for Triathletes is to set you up for your HALF MARATHON SUCCESS while maintaining a reasonable level of swim and bike sport-specific fitness.

Hand-crafted by USA Triathlon-certified coach and elite triathlete Krista Schultz, MEd, CSCS this plan encapsulates her exercise physiology expertise with more than a decade of experience as as an endurance athlete and coaching hundreds of other athletes to success.

A typical week consists of 4 run, 2 swim, 2 bike and 2 strength workouts. During the plan, you will build up to 12.2 miles for your long. Your weekly schedule includes optional time allocation for strength exercises and a designated off day (Monday). We recommend using a GPS device for pace or heart rate monitor in conjunction with perceived effort, but neither is required.

Please note: This plan starts any time so pick your start day 24 weeks before your target race day. This plan version assumes your target half marathon race is either on a Saturday or Sunday.

Purchase of this plan includes our comprehensive ENDURANCEWORKS Training Plan Guide, which explains how to use your training plan, and, as an added bonus, Build and Maintain: Strength Training for Triathletes.

Prior to using this plan, you should be able to complete the following workouts:
• Swim: 500 meters or yards continuously
• Bike: 1.5 hours continuously
• Run: 30 minutes continuously

Most importantly, purchase of this program includes complimentary email access to our team at any time for questions that you may have about this plan.
