Plan Description
Are you preparing to take on the legendary Full Distance Triathlon Australia in Port Macquarie.
To reach your full potential on race day, you need more than just determination. You need a structured, progressive training plan designed to help you arrive in Port Macquarie strong, confident, and ready to perform.
Our 44-Week Beginner Full Distance Triathlon Plan is built to take you from base fitness to finish line glory. Whether you’re stepping up to your first full distance or returning to improve your time, this plan ensures every training session serves a purpose.
Why This Plan Works for the Port Macquarie Course
Swim (3.8km): Prepare for the calm but technical Hastings River swim with weekly technique-driven swim workouts, open-water strategy sessions, and drills that simulate weir crossings and current conditions.
Bike (180km): The bike course features steep climbs, fast descents, and ocean views — our plan includes hill-specific training, long tempo rides, and power-based intervals that simulate the rolling terrain of Winery Drive and the challenge of Matthew Flinders Drive.
Run (42.2km): You’ll face four laps on a coastal and creekside course — our run workouts build muscular endurance and pacing discipline so you can stay strong across all four laps and finish with energy down the iconic red carpet at Town Green.
What's Inside the Plan
✅ Starts with a 12-week base-building phase focused on endurance, strength, and technique
✅ Transitions into a 32-week progressive build phase with race-specific sessions
✅ Structured training based on Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) and heart rate
✅ Weekly swim drills with expert-led video instruction
✅ Beginner-friendly strength sessions designed for injury prevention and durability
✅ Brick workouts to improve your bike-run transition efficiency
✅ “B” and “C” race integration to boost confidence and sharpen race execution
Each session in this plan is strategically aligned with your performance needs for Port Macquarie’s unique course profile. By week 13, training begins at 7.5 hours per week and peaks at 14 hours by week 39, giving your body time to adapt while avoiding burnout.
