Plan Description
Racing the Half Distance Triathlon in Port Macquarie means you're taking on one of Australia's most scenic and demanding courses. With a calm 1.9km swim in the Hastings River, a 90km bike ride featuring coastal views and steep climbs on Matthew Flinders Drive, and a 21.1km run along Port Macquarie’s vibrant shoreline, this race demands a well-rounded and highly specific training approach.
That’s where the Six-Month Half Distance Triathlon Port Macquarie Intermediate Training Plan comes in. Designed for athletes who have already completed an Olympic distance triathlon and built a solid endurance base, this plan helps you step up with purpose and perform at your best.
🏊 Build Endurance with Intention
Beginning at 8 hours in the first week and progressing to 12 hours per week, this structured program emphasizes aerobic conditioning, tempo development, and the technical demands of open-water swimming. Every phase is carefully timed to maximize adaptation while avoiding burnout.
🚴 Train for the Terrain
The Port Macquarie bike course is anything but flat. With rolling hills and sharp climbs, particularly the double ascent of Matthew Flinders Drive, you’ll need strength, pacing discipline, and muscular endurance. This plan includes hill-focused rides, progressive brick workouts, and race-specific power intervals to ensure you're fully prepared for what lies ahead.
🏃 Run with Confidence
From Town Beach to Settlement Point, the run course features a mix of terrain, turns, and scenery. You'll develop the ability to run strong off the bike with targeted brick sessions, VO2 max intervals, and threshold efforts. The goal: cross that finish line at Town Green feeling powerful, not depleted.
💡 Key Benefits:
Gradual, proven training progression
Focused swim, bike, and run workouts tailored to the Port Macquarie course
Enhanced stamina, power, and mental toughness
Smart pacing strategies and race-day readiness
Strong finish capability through dedicated run and brick training
