Plan Description
Conquer the Course with Confidence – Your Journey Starts Here
The Half Distance Oceanside Triathlon delivers an unforgettable racing experience, blending Southern California’s oceanfront charm with a uniquely challenging course. From a 1.2-mile swim in the calm Oceanside Harbor to a scenic 56.2-mile bike ride through Camp Pendleton and a fast, two-loop 13.1-mile run along The Strand, athletes face both beauty and grit. To meet this challenge head-on, you need more than determination—you need a plan built for the course.
Introducing the 44-Week Beginner Training Plan – Specifically Designed for Oceanside
Our expertly crafted program eliminates the guesswork and builds your race-day readiness from the ground up. No base mileage required—we jump right into a 12-week foundational phase, focusing on core strength, swim technique, and base endurance. This isn’t just training—it’s transformation.
At Week 13, your journey intensifies with structured sessions that gradually build from 9.5 to 12 hours per week. Designed to match the unique demands of the Oceanside course, you'll gain the endurance to cruise Camp Pendleton’s rolling terrain, the strength to hold your pace along The Strand, and the confidence to own that final push to the finish line.
Here’s what’s inside your plan:
🎥 Video-guided swim drills to sharpen form and efficiency
🚴 Structured bike workouts targeting endurance and threshold gains
🏃♂️ RPE & heart rate-based run sessions to boost stamina and pace control
💪 Strength routines tailored for first-time triathletes
From V02 max intervals to anaerobic threshold work, every session is calibrated for peak performance in Oceanside’s cool spring temps (61°F water / 60°F air average). This plan isn’t just preparation—it’s your edge.
