Plan Description

Are you preparing for your first Half Distance Triathlon at Port Macquarie? This race is more than just a challenge — it’s an unforgettable experience. From the calm waters of the Hastings River to the iconic climbs of Matthew Flinders Drive and the vibrant finish at Town Green, this race offers breathtaking scenery and serious triathlon spirit.

Our Beginner’s Six-Month Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is specifically built to help you succeed at Port Macquarie’s Half Distance Triathlon — even if you’re just starting out. Designed with first-timers in mind, this structured program guides you from your base training phase all the way to race day, with a steady, achievable progression.

Why This Plan Works for Port Macquarie:
✅ Swim-Ready in Hastings River
You’ll start your training with a focus on swim efficiency and open water confidence — perfect for the calm river swim starting and finishing at Westport Park.

✅ Bike Training for Rolling Hills and Climbs
Ocean Drive’s rolling hills and the two demanding climbs on Matthew Flinders Drive require more than basic fitness. Our plan introduces strength-endurance rides and structured intervals to prepare you for every gradient you’ll face.

✅ Run Training Tailored for Terrain
The run course includes flat paths, creek crossings, and scenic beachside routes. With progressive brick workouts, pacing strategies, and aerobic development, you’ll finish strong — ready for that epic red carpet sprint at Town Green.

Inside the Plan:
🕒 Starts with 7 hours/week, building gradually to 12 hours/week

📊 Structured by heart rate and RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion)

🏋️‍♂️ Includes strength sessions, bike intervals, swim drills, and brick workouts

💡 Focused swim technique sessions and open-water skills

🔁 Incorporates VO2 max intervals and anaerobic threshold work in later weeks

🏁 Peak week aligns with Port Macquarie’s race demands
