Plan Description

Are you dreaming of finishing your first Half Distance Triathlon—but not sure where to start? This Beginner's Six-Month Training Plan is designed to guide you from “Can I really do this?” to crossing the finish line with pride at Western Sydney’s iconic Regatta Centre.

Whether you're new to triathlon or stepping up from shorter races, this plan will meet you where you are and build you into the athlete you're meant to be.

🌱 Start Strong
Before diving in, ensure you’ve completed 4–6 weeks of aerobic base training—easy, consistent cardio that lays the foundation for endurance and recovery.

💪 You’ll Be Race-Ready Because…

✅ Confidence in the Water
You'll master swim skills tailored to Penrith Lake’s calm, one-lap course. Technique drills, open-water practice, and sighting will get you ready for the pontoon start and Olympic Bridge swim.

✅ Strength and Endurance on the Bike
Two laps around scenic Penrith demand steady effort and control. This plan builds endurance with structured intervals and prepares you for smooth turns and technical sections—just like the real course.

✅ Run with Grit and Gratitude
Finish strong along the water’s edge and under the cheers of the crowd. You’ll train with progressive long runs, tempo work, and pacing strategies to confidently handle the final 21.1km.

✅ Complete Athlete Approach
Includes strength training for durability, video-guided swim drills, and clear RPE/heart-rate targets to guide every session—making your training effective, safe, and rewarding.

✅ You're Never Alone 💬
Our expert coach is just an email away for support, adjustments, and encouragement whenever you need it.

🏁 This isn’t just a training plan. It’s your blueprint to becoming a Half Distance Triathlete.

👉 Join the thousands of first-timers who have crossed the finish line—strong, proud, and transformed. Start your Half Distance Triathlon journey today with expert support every step of the way.
