Plan Description

Racing the Half Distance Triathlon Mont-Tremblant is a bucket-list experience—but to perform your best on race day, you need a smart, structured plan. This Beginner’s Six-Month Half Distance Triathlon Plan is designed to prepare you—physically and mentally—for the stunning but demanding course awaiting you in Quebec.

Mont-Tremblant’s race environment is both inspiring and challenging. The 1.9 km swim in Lake Tremblant features crisp, clear water and a controlled rolling start that eases nerves and prevents congestion. The 90 km bike course demands climbing power and pacing strategy as you navigate closed, undulating roads through the Laurentians. The 21.1 km run winds through charming village paths and forested trails, with cool mountain air aiding your stride.

This plan gives you the tools to meet those challenges with confidence:

✅ Progressive Structure – Begin with just 7 hours of weekly training and build to 12 hours over 6 months. The gradual increase helps prevent injury while developing endurance.

✅ Aerobic Foundation & Threshold Work – You'll layer in steady base-building with VO₂ max and anaerobic threshold intervals, making you efficient over long distances and resilient under pressure.

✅ Swim Technique Focus – Early emphasis on form and balance in the water, plus tempo and open-water sessions, prepare you specifically for the calm but cool Mont-Tremblant swim.

✅ Strength for Triathletes – Functional strength routines with video guidance reinforce your joints and improve posture, so you stay strong during hills and late-stage fatigue.

✅ Smart Bike & Run Workouts – Structured sessions based on RPE and heart rate help you master pacing for the hilly terrain, optimizing your energy output mile by mile.

📧 Included Email Coach Support – You’re not alone. You’ll receive expert advice, accountability, and encouragement throughout the plan.

This isn’t just a plan—it’s your roadmap to race-day success at one of the world’s most iconic half Distance Triathlons.

Take the first step toward your Mont-Tremblant finish line. Invest in your training today and let’s build your best race together.
