Plan Description

Get ready to experience one of Australia’s most iconic races with a training plan that’s been specifically designed for the unique challenges of the Half Distance Triathlon Port Macquarie. From the calm waters of the Hastings River to the steep climbs of Matthew Flinders Drive and the scenic finish at Town Green, this course demands more than just fitness—it requires focused preparation, structured progression, and race-specific conditioning.

Why This Training Plan Works for Port Macquarie
Our 44-Week Beginner Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is built to help you go from foundational fitness to peak performance—exactly what you need to conquer Port Macquarie’s rolling terrain and two-lap run through its vibrant coastal community.

We start with 12 weeks of base training, emphasizing strength, endurance, and swim technique. You'll build the aerobic engine and muscular durability required to thrive on Ocean Drive's rolling hills and tackle the punchy climbs of Matthew Flinders Drive with confidence.

Then, the next 32 weeks take it up a notch. This phase features advanced swim refinement, structured bike intervals, and run workouts designed around RPE and heart rate to boost your stamina and threshold. With Port Macquarie’s flat, scenic run course, this plan ensures your legs have the strength and efficiency to power you through Town Beach, the breakwall, and Settlement Point Road, ending strong on the red carpet finish.

Key Features:
🏊 Swim drills with video instruction to sharpen technique for the Hastings River

🚴 Bike workouts structured by effort and heart rate—perfect for building power on hills

🏃 Progressive run sessions that mirror the two-lap run course dynamics

💪 Beginner-focused strength training to build durability for the entire race

📈 Weekly progression from 9.5 to 14 hours of smart, targeted training

Whether this is your first Half Distance Triathlon or your next big goal, our plan is built to help you arrive at the starting line ready—strong, confident, and race-ready.

This is more than a plan—it’s your roadmap to success at the Half Distance Triathlon Port Macquarie.

Start training with purpose and confidence today. Your journey to the red carpet at Town Green begins now.
