Plan Description
Your First Half Distance Triathlon Starts Here — Phu Quoc, Vietnam Awaits 🌴🏊♂️🚴♀️🏃
If you're dreaming of crossing your first Half Distance Triathlon finish line — on the vibrant island of Phu Quoc, surrounded by turquoise waters and cheering crowds — this is the plan to get you there.
Our 36-week beginner Half Distance Triathlon training plan is built for real people with big goals. No prior race experience? No problem. You don’t need to be fast or fit to start — just committed and ready to grow.
From your first swim stroke at Three Coconut Tree Beach to your final steps down the seaside road into Shell Square, this plan prepares you every step of the way.
✅ Progressive & Supportive Base Training (Weeks 1–12)
Start with confidence. You'll build aerobic fitness and learn efficient swim technique with guided video drills, preparing you for the 1.9km open-water swim. No pressure, just steady progress.
✅ Bike Confidence for Phu Quoc’s Coastal Roads
The flat, two-lap 90km bike course is breathtaking — and our plan ensures you're ready. With smartly structured heart-rate and RPE-based rides, you'll build endurance, power, and race-day pacing skills without burnout.
✅ Run Strong to the Finish
The 21.1km run along shaded resort paths and the iconic seaside road requires stamina and heart. You'll train with run-walk options, brick workouts, and tempo efforts to simulate race-day conditions and finish strong with a smile.
✅ Open-Water Swim & Brick Prep
Practice like you race. Simulated swim-to-bike and bike-to-run sessions get your body used to transitions, while open-water-focused swim workouts help you feel calm and confident in Phu Quoc’s tropical sea.
✅ Beginner-Friendly Strength Training
Stay injury-free with short, simple strength routines. Video demos* guide your form and help build the durability you need to keep training week after week.
✅ Coach Support via Email 💬
You’re not doing this alone. Get personal answers from a real coach who believes in your goal and will help guide your journey, from day one to race day.
🌟 This is more than a race. It’s your transformation. Your first Half Distance Triathlon is within reach — and Phu Quoc is the perfect place to celebrate your achievement. Let’s get you to that finish line.
