Plan Description
If you’re new to triathlon or tackling the Half Distance Triathlon for the first time, this plan will guide you step-by-step, building your fitness and confidence safely and effectively.
Here’s how this Half Distance Triathlon training plan prepares beginner triathletes for the unique challenges of Kenting Taiwan:
✅ Build a Solid Fitness Foundation: The first 12 weeks introduce you to base training with easy-to-follow workouts that develop strength, endurance, and conditioning—no guesswork, just steady progress that prepares you for longer training ahead.
✅ Swim with Confidence: Open water swimming can be daunting. Our plan includes detailed swim drills and instructional videos to improve your stroke, breathing, and technique—crucial for mastering the 1.9KM swim in Little Bay’s crystal-clear waters.
✅ Bike Training that Matches the Race: The flat, scenic 90KM bike course calls for consistent pacing. Our heart rate and effort-based bike sessions build your stamina and teach you how to ride efficiently, so you feel strong riding past Nanwan and the National Museum of Marine Biology & Aquarium.
✅ Run Strong to the Finish: The 21.1KM run covers beautiful but challenging terrain. We gradually build your run endurance with structured run/jog workouts and strength training to keep your legs fresh and powerful through Heping Lane and Sheding Natural Park.
✅ Train Smarter with VO2 and Threshold Workouts: As you advance, the plan adds VO2 max intervals and anaerobic threshold training to boost your cardiovascular fitness and race speed—key for excelling in the Half Distance Triathlon.
✅ Strategic “B” and “C” Race Tune-Up Windows: Practice your nutrition, pacing, and race-day strategy in advance with targeted tune-up races during your training. This helps you gain experience and confidence so you’re fully prepared when race day arrives.
✅ Personalized Email Coaching Support: You won’t do this alone! Get expert guidance, motivation, and answers to your questions every step of the way.
This Half Distance Triathlon training plan is your pathway to crossing the finish line at Kenting Taiwan stronger, faster, and ready to celebrate your achievement.
