Plan Description
The Half Distance Triathlon in Swansea, Wales is one of the UK’s most scenic and challenging races. With a swim in the calm Prince of Wales Dock, a hilly bike ride through the Mumbles and the Gower Peninsula, and a fast, flat double-loop run along Swansea’s iconic waterfront, this race demands more than basic fitness—it requires strategy, endurance, and confidence on race day.
That’s exactly what our 44-Week Beginner Training Plan delivers.
Designed specifically for first-time or developing triathletes, this plan prepares you step-by-step for the unique demands of the Swansea course. With a clear structure and coach-backed support, you’ll train smart and arrive strong.
✅ Phase 1 – Build Your Foundation (Weeks 1–12)
Start with 12 weeks of focused base building—no guesswork, no fluff. You’ll increase strength, sharpen technique, and lay the endurance groundwork essential for the longer sessions ahead. Key highlights include:
💪 Structured strength sessions for injury prevention and muscle balance
🏊 Technical swim drills to master efficiency in cooler water (approx. 60°F/16°C)
🚴 Moderate-volume aerobic rides to adapt to varied terrain like Swansea’s hilly bike course
✅ Phase 2 – Peak Performance Training (Weeks 13–44)
From week 13 on, the plan gradually scales from 9.5 to 14 hours per week, blending volume with intensity. Perfectly matched to Swansea’s demands, this phase develops:
🏃♂️ Threshold & VO₂ intervals for sustained pacing on the flat coastal run course
🏊 Open water swim endurance to mimic race-day conditions
🔥 What You Get
📽️ Instructional video swim drills
🧠 Heart rate & RPE-based run/bike sessions
💥 Strength workouts specifically crafted for beginner triathletes
📧 Direct email access to your coach—because questions will come up
