Why This Plan Works for Geelong
.
Geelong's course is fast and fair, but it demands preparation: calm open-water swimming, rolling bike terrain, and a run course that tests your pacing. Our plan is designed to match the course’s demands with a progressive, science-backed structure:
.
12-Week Foundation Phase: Build a strong base with swim drills (video-guided), RPE/heart-rate based bike and run workouts, and form-focused strength sessions.
.
24-Week Specific Phase: Transition into sport-specific Half Distance preparation with endurance sessions, tempo efforts, and brick workouts that simulate race day flow.
.
Starting at just 7 hours per week, training gradually builds to 12 hours, ensuring you peak just in time for race day without burnout.
.
Perfect for First-Timers No prior triathlon experience? No problem. This plan requires no base mileage—just a willingness to train smart. With easy-to-follow workouts, recovery guidance, and weekly structure, you’ll avoid injury while gaining confidence in all three disciplines.
