Plan Description

The Half Distance Triathlon Port Macquarie is more than a race—it's a journey across breathtaking coastal views, tough climbs, and a spirited finish in the heart of town. From the calm swim in Hastings River to the punchy hills of Matthew Flinders Drive and the energized run through Port Macquarie's iconic landscapes, every leg of this course challenges both body and mind.

That’s where your training makes all the difference.

Our 36-Week Half Distance Triathlon Port Macquarie Training Plan is engineered specifically for athletes like you who want to perform at their best on race day. Whether you're stepping up to your first Half Distance Triathlon or aiming to crush a personal best, this plan is designed to meet you where you are—and take you further than you thought possible.

Here’s how it works:
🔥 Weeks 1–12: The Foundation Phase
Start strong by building a rock-solid endurance base. These weeks focus on aerobic development, mobility, and early strength. You'll develop the fitness to handle more volume later—without injury or burnout.

🏋️‍♂️ Weeks 13–36: Specific Half Distance Triathlon Preparation
From week 13, you’ll ramp up from 7 to 12.5 hours per week of targeted training. This includes structured brick workouts, tempo runs, open water swim prep, and the legendary V02 and threshold intervals you’ll need for race-day speed and stamina.

💪 Strength Built In
Unlike generic plans, this one integrates periodized strength training to build durability and power—helping you dominate those Ocean Drive rollers and repeated climbs.

🧠 Smarter, Not Just Harder
Every session has purpose. From heart rate and power-based intervals to recovery-focused sessions, you’ll train smarter—not just harder. Instructional videos, race-specific pacing strategies, and technique tips are built right in.

🎯 Made for Port Macquarie
We’ve studied the course and designed this plan to simulate race-day conditions, including multi-surface running, hilly bike efforts, and open-water swim cues. You’ll be race-ready—mentally and physically.

Ready to toe the line at Port Macquarie with confidence?
Take control of your training and invest in a plan that’s as committed to your success as you are. Step onto that red carpet finish line knowing you trained the right way.

👉 Start your Half Distance Triathlon journey today—your best race awaits.
