Plan Description
Step onto the legendary course in Port Macquarie with the confidence of a well-prepared athlete. The FULL DISTANCE TRIATHLON Australia isn’t just a race—it’s a milestone achievement for triathletes across the country. Our 36-week beginner training plan is your roadmap to crossing that finish line strong, healthy, and proud.
Why This Plan Works for Port Macquarie
This iconic race demands more than just determination—it requires a smart, structured approach. The 3.8km river swim, the 180km hilly bike course, and the 42.2km coastal run push both body and mind. That’s why our plan is built around real course demands, with progressive training blocks tailored to help you handle each section like a pro.
Phase 1: Foundation (12 Weeks)
We begin by developing core endurance, strength, and technique—especially for those new to the sport. You’ll build efficient swim form with video-guided drills, enhance aerobic capacity with RPE-based run and bike sessions, and establish consistent training habits.
Phase 2: Performance Build (24 Weeks)
This is where transformation happens. With volume ramping from 7 to 12 hours per week, you’ll simulate race-day challenges: rolling bike routes like those on Winery Drive, open-water swim practice with strategic intervals, and long runs that mimic the mental grind of the four-lap marathon through Town Beach and Settlement Point. Strength workouts with detailed videos support injury prevention and power output—critical for tackling climbs like Matthew Flinders Drive.
Built for Beginners, Backed by Experts
No prior race experience? No problem. This plan is designed to meet you where you are, whether you’re fresh off the couch or returning to endurance sport. You’ll gain endurance, race-specific skill, and mental toughness at a pace that prevents burnout.
Train with Purpose. Race with Confidence.
Port Macquarie’s FULL DISTANCE TRIATHLON is more than a finish line—it’s your legacy. Don’t just hope to survive race day—train to thrive. This plan gives you every tool to arrive fit, prepared, and ready to perform.
