Plan Description

Ready to race fast and finish strong at the Half Distance Texas – Galveston Triathlon? Whether you're chasing a new PR or tackling your first Half Distance Triathlon, this destination race offers everything you need—flat roads, stunning coastal views, and a course that's as welcoming as it is rewarding. But to truly take advantage of its potential, your training needs to match the race-day demands.

That’s where our 44-Week Intermediate Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan comes in.

Why This Plan Is Perfect for Galveston

Galveston's course is uniquely PR-friendly—flat, fast, and predictable—but only if you arrive ready. Our training plan is strategically built to match this race's demands. You’ll gain the swim confidence to tackle the salty Offats Bayou, the endurance and strength for long, steady efforts on the bike along the Gulf Coast, and the pacing precision to conquer the 3-loop run around Moody Gardens.

Here’s How You’ll Get There:

✅ Start with Purpose (Weeks 1–12): Build a bulletproof foundation during the base phase. We focus on aerobic endurance, proper form, and consistency to lay the groundwork for a high-performance season.

✅ Peak with Power (Weeks 13–44): Our 32-week specific race phase hones your race-day fitness with tempo sessions, long rides, brick workouts, and threshold training—all aligned with Galveston’s race profile. Training evolves from 9 hours in Week 1 to a peak of 14 hours, ensuring sustainable, strategic progress.

🏋️ Train Smart, Train Strong: Weekly strength workouts, open-water swim prep, and expertly structured sessions using heart rate and power zones elevate your performance.

🎥 Visual Learning: Gain access to swim and strength video tutorials to fine-tune technique and stay injury-free.

🔥 Built for Intermediate Athletes: This plan is designed for committed triathletes who want to take their racing to the next level. You'll be guided every step of the way with purpose, structure, and a clear path to success.

You’re not just showing up for race day—you’re showing up prepared. With our training plan, you’ll arrive at the starting line strong, confident, and ready to execute. The Gulf breeze, the flat terrain, and the energy of Moody Gardens will be your playground.

Start your journey today and train with the precision Galveston demands.
