Plan Description

Are you a high-performance amateur athlete ready to conquer the Half Distance Triathlon in La Quinta? This 24-week training plan is built specifically for triathletes like you—driven, disciplined, and looking to race strong on one of the fastest and most scenic courses in California.

🌊 Swim: Prepare for Lake Cahuilla
You’ll gain confidence with swim workouts focused on open water technique, sighting, and pacing—perfect for La Quinta’s calm, clear lake and beach start. On-wrist guidance for compatible watches means no need to bring printed workouts to the pool.

🚴 Bike: Own the Flat, Fast Course
Crush the 56-mile loop through the Thermal Raceway and La Quinta with workouts designed around FTP, VO2 Max, and threshold intervals. Progressive long rides and race simulation bricks prepare your legs for a strong finish at Silver Rock Golf Resort.

🏃 Run: Ready for Race Day Rhythm
Train for the flat, two-loop 13.1-mile run with speed work, pacing sessions, and structured bricks. You’ll practice holding race pace while visualizing family and friends cheering you on through the scenic golf course paths.

⚠️ Prerequisite Training Required
Before starting, make sure your base aerobic system is established. This is a high-performance plan, starting strong with 9 hours in Week 1—including Anaerobic Threshold and VO2 training—and peaking at 14.5 hours in Week 19. Expect to train with purpose and intensity right from the start.

✅ Why This Plan Works for You
✔️ 3:1 training-to-recovery structure for optimal progress
✔️ Heart rate + power-based workouts for dialed-in performance
✔️ Personalized email coach support to keep you focused and accountable
✔️ Functional and traditional strength training built for triathletes
✔️ ATP-PC sprint training to build explosive power and sharpen your edge

🎯 You’re not just racing—you’re racing smart. Make this the year you master the Half Distance Triathlon in La Quinta with a plan designed to match your ambition.
