70.3 Half Distance

Plan Goal
Build to a confident, well-paced 70.3 finish — a strong swim, a controlled bike, and a resilient half-marathon off the bike.
This 16-week plan takes you from foundation to race-ready with sensible progressions, clear intensity guidance, and built-in recovery. You’ll train with purpose, protect consistency, and arrive sharp without burning out.
 
What to Expect
✅ Progressive structure — Base → Build → Peak → Taper with regular recovery weeks
✅ Technique first — efficient swim mechanics, smooth bike cadence, and durable run form
✅ Clear intensity cues — Pace/HR/Power guidance so sessions feel “right”
✅ Race-specific bricks — dial pacing and fueling when it matters most
✅ Long-day rehearsals — practice your nutrition, kit, and mindset under realistic load
✅ Strength & mobility baked in — durability to stay healthy and finish strong
 
Perfect For
First-time 70.3 athletes who want a straightforward, confidence-building plan
Experienced racers seeking a structured refresh with smart pacing & fueling practice
Busy athletes who need clarity, flexibility, and consistency (not maximal volume)
 
Optional Add-Ons (recommended)
✅ Strength & Conditioning (25–40′, 1–2×/wk) — durability and posture under fatigue
✅ Mobility/Recovery (5–10′, little & often) — ankles, hips, T-spine, breathwork
✅ Technique boosters — short swim drills, run drills, and single-leg bike work
