Plan Description

Train Smarter for the Half Distance Durban Triathlon

Your Roadmap to Success Starts Here 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Ready to race the iconic Half Distance Durban Triathlon? With its stunning 1.9 km ocean swim at uShaka Beach, a fast and rolling 90 km bike along the M4 highway, and a scenic 21.1 km run on the Durban Promenade, this is a race that demands more than determination—it demands preparation.

That’s where our Beginner’s Six-Month Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan comes in. Designed specifically for new and aspiring triathletes, this program gives you the structure, support, and confidence to conquer every part of race day in Durban.

✅ Why This Plan Works for the Durban Course

🌊 Swim-Ready
Train for the unique open-water conditions of the Indian Ocean with swim workouts that build endurance, boost technique, and include key sessions like sighting drills and race-paced intervals.

🚴‍♀️ Bike Smart
Master the fast, undulating two-loop bike course along the scenic M4 with structured bike sessions tailored to build strength, stamina, and control—using Heart Rate and RPE-based intervals to keep you on target.

🏃‍♂️ Run with Confidence
Simulate the flat, out-and-back Promenade run course with tempo efforts and pacing work that helps you manage fatigue and finish strong, no matter the weather.

💪 Build Strength for Speed
Incorporate weekly strength training specifically designed for beginner triathletes, including core work, mobility drills, and resistance routines with video support to ensure proper form.

📅 Gradual Progression
Starting at just 7 hours a week, the plan builds steadily to 12 hours by Week 19—so you never feel overwhelmed. Training blocks include VO₂ intervals, threshold workouts, and recovery weeks to optimize gains.

📬 Expert Coaching Support
