Workouts For Half-Distance Triathlons
The ROUVY indoor cycling app has pro-designed cycling workouts tailored for triathletes.
Block 1: Half-Distance Triathlon
This first four-week block is designed to prepare you for middle-distance triathlons by focusing on building a strong aerobic foundation and enhancing muscular strength. Through steady endurance efforts and controlled power intervals, this phase develops your stamina, pacing, and efficiency for longer distances.
Block 2: Half-Distance Triathlon
This four-week block focuses on a balanced approach to building cycling endurance, enhancing sustained power, and improving your ability to handle high-intensity efforts. The sessions are progressively structured to develop your aerobic capacity, sharpen your top-end power, and simulate the demands of race-day efforts. Each week concludes with a cycling session followed by a brick run, preparing you for the physical and mental demands of transitioning from the bike to the run during your triathlon.
Block 3: Half-Distance Triathlon
This is where it all comes together! Block 3 focuses on race-specific training to ensure you're prepared for every challenge that race day throws your way. A highlight is the Race Simulation Day, where you'll practice your pacing and mental focus in a controlled environment. As the block progresses, you’ll taper your training to feel fresh and powerful on race day.
