This 13-Week training plan is for experienced triathletes looking to comfortably complete their first half-ironman distance event (1.2 miles of swimming, 56 miles of cycling and 13.1 miles of running.) This plan is for the experienced triathlete, who has completed several sprint and Olympic distance races.
You can currently swim three times per week for about an hour, estimating a race swim pace of 1:45 to 2:00 per 100 yards. You are currently doing a long bike ride at about 90-minutes and you estimate an average of 15 to 18 miles per hour for the race. You can currently do a long run that is about 75-minutes long. Weekday training needs to be light, but weekend training hours are more available. The total training hours for the first week of the plan are 8:00 (please see the Plan Preview) and the biggest week of training, Week 11, is 10:30. The long run builds to 2:00 and the long ride builds to 4:00.
The major differences between this plan and the 13-Week Intermediate plan are training volume, the volume of training above Zone 2 and the format of long training days. (In this plan the long run is on Saturday and the long ride is Sunday. In the intermediate plan the long run is Sunday and the long ride is Saturday.) Of course there is also one more week of training with this plan.
Plan is available in the book “Training Plans for Multisport Athletes”

Are you an experienced and fit triathlete looking for a new challenge, maybe a longer race? Well how about a half-ironman distance event? This 12-Week plan might be just what you need, read on.
You are a triathlete with experience at sprint and Olympic-distance racing. You keep in good condition most of the year. You currently swim two to three times per week and this may or may not be with a masters team. You are cycling two to three days per week and a two-hour ride is normal for you. You run two to three days per week, with the long run of the week lasting about an hour. Strength training may or may not be part of your weekly routine. A suggested strength training routine is included in the plan for athletes wanting to compliment their endurance training with strength training.
In short, you think of yourself as an intermediate triathlete with a good base of swimming, cycling and running. You've thought about racing longer distances, but just haven't gotten around to making yourself a plan. If this description fits you, this may be the plan you’ve been looking for.
You can view a portion of the plan by selecting Plan Preview. Throughout the plan, weekly training hours range from 7:15 to 14:15. This plan builds the long run to 2:15 and the long ride to 4:30. This plan includes more weekly training volume and more workout time at higher intensities than does the 13-Week Half-Ironman Distance Beginner Plan.

TriSmart Training Systems has created a 12 week Build/Peak/Race training plan designed to help a triathlete get ready for their Half Ironman/70.3 "A" Race. TriSmart has geared this program to someone who has completed Base training, currently trains 10-13 hours a week, can run 13 miles at a time comfortably, cycle 50 miles comfortably, swim 2500 yards comfortably, and can commit up to 13 hours per week in the hardest weeks. This plan can be used with a heart rate monitor but it is not necessary.

Designed for the FITNESS to COMPETITIVE athlete, this ultimate half Ironman training program by
6x Ironman World Champion Dave Scott draws on his 30+ years of experience as an athlete and coach.
This plan starts out with moderate volume and intensity at 11.5 hours per week and builds to 13.5 hours per week over the course of the plan prior to tapering to prepare you optimally for race day. The 3 to 4 sessions each week per discipline (swim, bike, run) include progressive workloads with unique marker sets, which will determine your optimal race pace. Brick workouts are included to further enhance your race preparation by allowing you to monitor your nutritional needs. Monday is the designated day off.
Successfully racing the half Ironman distance requires an element of speed so this plan includes some anaerobic, higher intensity session that you will give you a higher metabolic return than only doing moderate intensities.
This program may be set to start or end at any time for a goal race that takes place on a Saturday. If your race is on Sunday, please chose the Sunday version of Dave's plan.
This program can be adjusted to fit your shortened training schedule if you miss the first few weeks. If you can complete 70%+ of the workouts, you will see results through race-simulated sets and bricks that replicate the physical and psychological tests of your race.
Included: This plan comes with Dave’s comprehensive
Triathlon Training Plan Guide explaining Dave’s training methodology and all the workout terminology plus video training tips by Dave covering optimal fueling, proper pacing, mental training tactics, race day strategy and more!

This plan can be used with a heart rate monitor but it is not necessary.
In this 2 Week Half-Ironman Distance Triathlon Initial Conditioning/Prep Plan, the training will be easy. Great during the off-season or before you start your training up again, this will thorougly develop your basic-ability fitness with long aerobic endurance workouts, technique and skill development, and muscular force and strength training. This plan begins this process and is great for all skill levels.

This plan is designed for the beginner to intermediate triathlete who already has experience racing at least one sprint or olympic distance triathlon and wants to jump up distances to the half-ironman.
The athlete should already be comfortable swimming at least 1500-2000 yards in the pool at a time, up to 40-50 miles on the bike, and up to 6-8 miles running.

The athlete should already be comfortable swimming at least 1500-2000 yards in the pool at a time, up to 40-50 miles on the bike, and up to 6-8 miles running.
This 16-week plan is targeted for an athlete with at least 1-2 years of triathlon experience. It is ideal for a half-Ironman distance-race such as Oliver that has a relatively flat run course.
This plan has two rest days per week (M/F) with the long run and bike stacked on the weekend days (Sat/Sun). A brick workout occurs on alternating weekends from the long bike/long run weekends.
If the athlete is starting the training plan with a solid endurance base, you may choose to lengthen the long run/long bike based on your preference and fitness level as long as rest weeks maintain reduced volume.
Along with building the volume of the three disciplines to provide the athlete with the confidence of having a solid finish in an Half-Ironman-distance triathlon, this plan will help the athlete build bike-specific strength during the training with muscle tension intervals and hill repeats. The full spectrum of cardiovascular development is also targeted in all three disciplines to provide the athlete with the greatest chance of increasing his/her aerobic fitness.
The plan is periodized with a slight rest week every fourth week and has a three-week linear taper to allow the athlete to fully absorb the training dose.
Enjoy and Happy Training!

This program should be used for an athlete who is coming off a Half Ironman Race and:
1. They have a very strong base of 4-6 months of consistent training
2. They have a strong swim or run background
3. They have trained for at least 10-12 hours per week
This program is an advanced plan to bridge you from an a Half Ironman to Ironman using a power meter with the confidence that you can complete the race without difficulty.
The schedule consists of 3-4 workouts per week in each sport, 1-2 days of strength training and core work too. The maximum volume is around 14-20 hours pretty consistently and some of the easier weeks are around 9 hours.
Requirements: You should be able to swim at least 3,000 yards. You should be able to bike at least 3.5 hours and be able to run three times per week with at least one of the runs being 90 minutes. If you are a weak swimmer or runner, you can certainly do the best you can on your weaker events but its best if you are already up to the base fitness levels suggested.

HALF IRONMAN 9-Week Advanced Training Program
Author: Coach Erik Seedhouse, M.Med.Sc., Ph.D., FBIS, Coaching Director, TriathlonPro
9 weeks - $49.95
Total Hours: 88.2
This is an Advanced level Half Ironman distance training schedule aimed at the competitive Age
Group triathlete with more than 5 years training/racing experience and with at least three Half
Ironman distance races completed. This schedule has been used dozens of times by athletes and
has resulted in more than a dozen age group podium results.
Before starting this schedule it is recommended that the athlete have logged between 4 to 6
weeks of base aerobic training. Ideally, the athlete should also have completed two or three
shorter races to activate their race legs. This schedule is moderately low volume but high in
intensity so it requires a high level of conditioning and efficient swim, bike and run
biomechanics. Due to the moderately high intensity of this schedule, monitoring for signs of
overtraining is essential. It is therefore recommended that serious athletes work with a coach to
properly develop their potential.
With the busy age group athlete in mind, the key to this training schedule is quality, quality,
quality! In short, you will be training as you race. You will find this schedule may be lightweight
in terms of volume but it’s the intensity that counts. This schedule has been used by athletes
(including the coach who developed it) to race sub 4:30 in Half Ironman races – it is race-proven.
Every week includes one day recovery. Most weekdays involve moderate training loads
requiring time commitments of between one to three hours. Weekends have higher workloads
and max out at 4 to 5 hours of weekend training.
Intensity descriptions are by Target Training Zones (TTZs) but athletes are encouraged to use
heart rate, wattage and/or perceived effort to monitor their training.
TTZs are as follows:
Zone 1: Recovery pace. Usually restricted to taper sessions and post-race recovery.
Zone 2: Aerobic pace. Low to moderate intensity. Able to maintain a conversation. Heart Rate is
at least 15 to 25 beats per minute below lactate threshold heart rate.
Zone 3: Aerobic Endurance. Steady to moderate effort. Heart Rate is between 0 to 10 beats
below lactate threshold heart rate.
Zone 4: Threshold Training. Hard effort sustainable for short duration. This is race effort so
you’ll be suffering. Heart Rate within 5 beats of LTHR
Prior to starting this schedule it is suggested the athlete perform a maximal oxygen uptake test
(VO2max); this will ensure optimal determination of your TTZs. One option is the shuttle run (‘bleep test’) or a direct assessment in a sport science lab. If neither of those tests are available a
20 minute functional threshold (run) test can be used to determine LTHR. For example, if you
run flat out for 5km and you heart rate at the finish is 160 bpm, this is your LTHR.
This 9-week training schedule will ensure you are optimally prepared to race a fast Half
Ironman.
TriathlonPro wishes you luck with your training and racing and thanks you for using this training
plan. If you are interested in personalized training/coaching please contact Erik at

This plan was designed by Joe Friel using the principles of The Triathletes Training Bible for the OVER-age-50 athlete. The major difference between this and the under-50 plan is that brief rest periods are built in more frequently for over 50.
This plan is best started about 23 weeks prior to your first A race of the season. This plan is quite detailed, often including alternative workouts, yet easy to follow.
To start this plan you should be able to swim 1 hour, bike 1.5 hours, and run 1 hour. Over 12 weeks you will increase your weekly volume from about 9.5 hours to 14 hours including 3 swims, 2 to 4 bikes, 3 to 4 runs, and 1 to 2 strength workouts each week. The exceptions are the R&R weeks every third week with volume significantly reduced for 4 to 5 days and self-testing at the end of the week to measure progress.
The plan uses common tri language to describe the workouts and is easy to follow. By the end of 12 weeks you will have excellent Base fitness and be ready to start the Build period 11 weeks prior to your A-priority, half-Ironman race.

This plan is for the timed crunched competitive intermediate triathlete. Heart rate monitor is required. Plan involves ~ 8-10 hours per week.
Plan is based on a 2 week training period followed by a 3-4 day rest period to maximize training time and allow for body adaptation to training stress.
Plan also includes periodic time trials in the bike/swim/run in order to establish and re-establish valid heart rate zones in the bike and run. Pacing is used in swim workouts and based off of a 1000 meter time trial.
Focus is on building sport specific endurance and force/efficiency/technique in the first 8 weeks of training. During this period you will complete:
* 2 strength/stability sessions per week in gym, .
* Progressively longer workouts in the bike/swim/run.
* Workouts focusing on form/efficiency/technique in all disciplines.
Plan then transitions you to a base/build phase in the next 8 weeks to consolidate and build muscular endurance. During this phase of training athletes will complete:
* Weekly interval/tempo sessions for the bike/swim/run which increase in intensity.
* Endurance in all disciplines is maintained but not focused on like in the first 8 weeks.
* Strength sessions continue.
The final 6-8 weeks of training are focused on race specific workouts.
* Brick workouts are scheduled on a more regular basis and increase in duration.

This 11-week Half Ironman/70.3 Build-Peak-Race training plan requires the use of a bicycle powermeter. The difference between this plan and the other Power-Based Half Ironman (Under 50) plan also listed here is that the bike intensity in this one is based on the Coggan power zones rather than on Critical Power (for example, CP30). To find out more about how to establish your power zones click on the "Using Heart Rate, Power & Pace" link underneath Joe Friel's picture on this page (or at http://tinyurl.com/kwnlh8). Power zones will need to be established before the first bike workout in this plan. This plan was designed for the advanced triathlete by Joe Friel using the principles of The Triathletes Training Bible. All bike workouts are described using power. Before starting this plan you should have completed a Base training period and be able to train at least 16 hours per week. This 11-week plan includes two Build periods, two weeks of Peak period and ends with the week of your A-priority, half-iron-distance race (accomodations are made for both Saturday and Sunday races). The key to the success of this plan is the race-specific intensity inserted at just the right times. This plan is intended for the under-age-50 triathlete who has been racing for two or more years but may also be used by older athletes who recover well within 48 hours and can train with 3 weeks of quality and higher quantity before starting a recovery period of 5 days. To start this plan you should have a powermeter and be able to swim 1 hour, bike 3 hours, and run 2 hours. Except for the R&R weeks which are about 9 hours, the Build training weeks are around 16 hours. Optional strength maintenance workouts are included as suggested in The Triathletes Training Bible. The plan uses common language to describe the workouts and is easy to follow as you may see by clicking the plan preview above. By the end of 11 weeks you will have excellent fitness and be ready for your A-priority, half-Ironman race.

This half Ironman Build and Peak period plan was designed by Joe Friel using the principles of his books--The Triathletes Training Bible and Going Long. All higher-intensity bike workouts are described using power. You must have a power meter and be familiar with using it. You will also need power zones (based on the Coggan system). To establish goals go to http://tinyurl.com/29t3q6m and under Joe Friel's picture you will see a PDF titled 'Using Heart Rate, Power & Pace.' Download that and follow the instructions for setting your power zones.
This plan is best started 11 weeks prior to your A-priority, half Ironman race. If you have been training consistently you may start at any point in this plan and still do well.
This plan is intended for the experienced, intermediate to advanced under-age-50 triathlete.

To establish goals go to http://tinyurl.com/29t3q6m and under Joe Friel's picture you will see a PDF titled 'Using Heart Rate, Power & Pace.' Download that and follow the instructions for setting your power zones.
This plan is best started 11 weeks prior to your A-priority, half Ironman race. If you have been training consistently you may start at any point in this plan and still do well.
This plan is intended for the experienced, intermediate to advanced under-age-50 triathlete. To start this plan you should have completed a Base training period and be able to swim 1 hour, bike 3 hours, and run 2 hours. Weekly volume is about 13 hours per week with 3-4 swims, 4 bikes, 4-5 runs and 1 strength session. The exceptions are the R&R weeks every fourth week with volume significantly reduced for 4 to 5 days and self-testing at the end of the week to measure progress. There are also fitness-building race-simulation bricks every week. The last 3 weeks of this plan taper and peak you for the race.
The plan uses common language to describe the workouts and is easy to follow. By the end of 11 weeks you will have excellent half Ironman race fitness.
This plan was designed for the advanced triathlete by Joe Friel using the principles of The Triathletes Training Bible. All higher intensity bike workouts are described using power. Before starting this plan you should have completed a Base training period and be able to train at least 16 hours per week. This 11-week plan includes two Build periods, two weeks of Peak period and ends with the week of your A-priority, half-iron-distance race. The key to the success of this plan is the race-specific intensity inserted at just the right times.
This plan is intended for the under-age-50 triathlete who has been racing for two or more years but may also be used by older athletes who recover well within 48 hours and can train with 3 weeks of quality before taking a recovery period of 5 days. To start this plan you should have a powermeter and be able to swim 1 hour, bike 3 hours, and run 2 hours. Except for the R&R weeks which are about 9 hours, the Build training weeks are around 16 hours. Optional strength maintenance workouts are included as suggested in The Triathletes Training Bible.
