Take on your first Half Distance Triathlon and prove to yourself just how strong and capable you are. The Half Distance Triathlon Erkner Berlin Training Plan is designed specifically for beginner triathletes like you who want to turn their dream into reality. This triathlon training plan will guide you every step of the way, building your fitness, confidence, and race-day readiness.
Starting with a focused 12-week base phase, you’ll develop essential swim skills through easy-to-follow video drills, so you can confidently face the 1.9-mile swim in the calm waters of Strandbad Erkner. No matter your starting point, this plan helps you build strength without burnout—laying the foundation for success.
As the weeks pass, your training hours gradually increase from 9.5 to 14 per week, preparing you for the fast, flat 90km bike course along the stunning River Spree. You’ll learn how to pace yourself, using heart rate and effort guidance, so you can ride strong and steady, enjoying every kilometer of this beautiful route.
When it comes to the run, this plan has you covered with structured, supportive workouts that build endurance and resilience for the 21.1km flat, 4-lap course through Erkner’s welcoming streets. Strength training is built in to protect your body and power your performance, making sure you finish the race feeling strong and proud.
