Port Macquarie isn’t just another triathlon location—it’s a benchmark of athletic grit and coastal beauty. As the proud home of the Oceania TriClub Championship, this Half Distance Triathlon offers a dynamic, scenic course featuring a 1.9km swim in the protected Hastings River, a hilly 90km ride with ocean views and double ascents of Matthew Flinders Drive, and a two-lap run that highlights Town Beach, the breakwall, Kooloonbung Creek, and Settlement Point Road—culminating in an electric red carpet finish at Town Green.

To truly excel here, you need more than just motivation—you need a structured, progressive training plan that mirrors the demands of this specific race.

Introducing the 36-Week Advanced Training Plan Built for Port Macquarie

This plan is tailored specifically for athletes targeting the Half Distance Triathlon format and is ideal for experienced age-groupers looking to perform at their peak on race day. The program is split into two key phases: a 12-week foundation phase and a focused 24-week build toward race readiness.

Using a smart 3:1 training rhythm (three weeks of focused training followed by one week of active recovery), you’ll start with a manageable 9.5-hour training week and gradually build to 14.5 hours—ensuring optimal adaptation without burnout.

Why This Plan Works for the Port Macquarie Course:

Structured Endurance: Targeted aerobic base building prepares you for the swim and the long run segments.

Strength for the Hills: Functional and traditional strength blocks improve resilience for those Ocean Drive rollers and Matthew Flinders Drive climbs.

High-Intensity Intervals: VO2 max and anaerobic threshold sessions build speed and stamina—essential for pushing on the bike and finishing strong.

Swim Technique Focus: Specific swim workouts help you navigate the Hastings River efficiently.

Race-Specific Workouts: Climbing accelerations, power intervals, and sprint sets mirror the demands of Port Macquarie’s terrain.

This plan doesn’t just prepare you for race day—it transforms your capabilities across all three disciplines.
