Train Smart for the Half Distance Triathlon Shanghai — Your Ultimate Six-Month Plan
Set on the stunning Chongming Island, just 90 minutes from downtown Shanghai, the Half Distance Triathlon Shanghai offers a breathtaking race experience through lush greenery and vibrant wildlife. This is your chance to race a fast, well-organized course with a 1.9 km lake swim, a flat 90 km bike on Beiyan Highway, and a scenic 21.1 km run around Bright Tian Yuan lake. To help you conquer this race confidently, we’ve crafted a Beginner’s Six-Month Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan designed to build your fitness, sharpen your skills, and get you race-ready.
Why This Training Plan Works for You
✅ Built for Beginners: Whether this is your first Half Distance Triathlon or you’re improving your time, this plan guides you step-by-step from your aerobic base to race day readiness. It’s ideal if you have about four to six weeks of aerobic fitness to start.

🎯 Personalized Focus: With detailed video instruction for swim drills and strength exercises, plus bike and run sessions calibrated by perceived effort and heart rate, you train smarter—not just harder.
