This HALF DIST plan eliminates the need for prerequisite training or prior base mileage. It commences with a 12-week base plan, succeeded by a 24-week tailored Half DIST training regimen.
Employing a structured 3/1 workout approach (3 weeks of load followed by 1 week of active recovery), the plan emphasizes proper warm-up, recovery, and strength training tailored for the Competitive Intermediate Athlete.
This intermediate plan will prioritize strength training in the initial phases, building base endurance and honing swimming technique, with an introduction to V02 Interval Training.
Throughout the 24-week Half Distance training phase, participants will commence with 7 hours of training in week 13, gradually reaching a maximum of approximately 12 hours per week. This phase emphasizes base endurance, introduces tempo training and open water swimming, and incorporates progressive brick workouts.
In the latter stages, the emphasis shifts from strength and technique to endurance, V02 interval training, anaerobic threshold training, and endurance track workouts.
Key features include instructional video swimming drills, structured interval bike and run sessions based on Heart Rate/Power, and strength sessions explicitly tailored for the Intermediate Triathlete, complete with detailed video instruction.*
