This 44-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan is built specifically for beginners ready to grow into race-day champions.
🌟 Build Your Base, Build Your Confidence
Start with a focused 12-week base training phase that develops your swim, bike, and run endurance without overwhelming you. You’ll master swim techniques for Langkawi’s calm open water, build strength for the rolling 91km bike course, and prepare mentally and physically for the humid two-loop run.
