Plan Description

Half Distance Triathlon Victoria Canada – 36-Week Beginner Training Plan

Train smarter, finish stronger. Prepare for the stunning and challenging Half Distance Triathlon Victoria Canada with our expertly crafted 36-week beginner training plan—built to take you from the starting line at Hamsterly Beach Park to a triumphant finish along the serene shores of Elk and Beaver Lake.

This race is not just scenic—it’s demanding. From the 1.9 km single-loop swim in Elk Lake, to the 90 km bike ride featuring over 3,000 feet of elevation, to the 21.1 km double-loop run on forested trails—this event requires serious preparation. That’s where our plan comes in.

✅ No Experience Needed
Start where you are. This plan requires zero prior triathlon experience. We guide you step-by-step—no guesswork, just progress.

✅ Build Confidence in the Water
Refine your technique with instructional swim drills and video-based stroke work to master the unique course at Elk Lake.

✅ Targeted Bike & Run Training
Use RPE and heart rate to train at the right intensities for the hilly bike course and trail-focused run. Gain strength, efficiency, and confidence for every kilometer.

✅ Structured Progression
🏁 Phase 1 (Weeks 1–12): Build your aerobic base, strength, and technical skills.
🚴 Phase 2 (Weeks 13–36): Focus on endurance, brick workouts, and open-water prep. Training time starts at 7 hours/week and peaks at 12.

✅ Strength Training Included
With easy-to-follow videos*, build core and full-body strength to support injury-free performance.

✅ Built for Victoria’s Course Profile
Every detail is tailored to the elevation, terrain, and race-day conditions (avg. 62°F / 17°C) you’ll face in Victoria, BC. You’ll train smart for real-world success.

🔥 Finish Stronger—Smarter
This isn't just a plan. It's your roadmap to crossing the finish line with strength, pride, and a smile.
