Whether you're racing along the Geelong waterfront or powering through the rolling bike course, our 44-week beginner training plan is built to get you across that finish line strong, confident, and injury-free.
.
Why This Plan Works for Geelong
From the calm but cool Corio Bay swim, to the 90km bike with rolling hills, and the 21.1km waterfront run, this course demands smart, progressive training—and that’s exactly what you get.
.
We start with a 12-week base training phase focused on building strength, conditioning, and technique—perfect for preparing your body for race-specific intensity. Then, a 32-week Half Iron training phase gradually ramps you up from 9.5 to 14 training hours per week.
.
By the time you toe the line in Geelong, you’ll have:
.
✅ Built powerful endurance for the rolling terrain of the bike and run
✅ Sharpened your swim technique for efficient movement through Corio Bay
✅ Boosted speed and power with VO2 intervals and anaerobic threshold training
✅ Developed race-day confidence with structured RPE/Heart Rate sessions and strength workouts tailored for beginners
