Flexible Training for Real Life
Training for your first Half Distance Triathlon is a big commitment — but it shouldn't mean putting the rest of your life on hold.
The plan is designed to fit around your lifestyle, with:
Shorter weekday workouts
Longer sessions at weekends
A clear training structure
Flexibility when life gets busy
Every session is categorised as:
KEY — your highest-priority sessions
RECOMMENDED — important sessions when time allows
SUPPORTING — additional sessions to complement your training
That means you always know what to prioritise when time is limited.
