Plan Description
This 15-week Half Distance Triathlon plan is designed for beginners who want a structured, effective approach to training.
It includes power-based bike and run sessions, while swim sessions use a combination of pace and RPE, ensuring a balanced and progressive build-up to race day.
Built on a cyclical non-linear periodisation model, this plan ensures each week builds on the last—developing fitness while managing fatigue, so you stay strong, consistent, and confident.
We prioritise efficient movement over simply hitting zones, keeping training engaging, sustainable, and focused on real performance gains.
Unlimited email support included. Have questions or need adjustments? We’re here to help you get the most out of your training.
