Is This Plan Right For You?

This is a 22 Week Half Ironman training plan that includes strength and conditioning sessions specifically tailored to support your endurance performance. It also comes with practical guidance on how to fuel correctly. So you can train stronger, recover faster, and race smarter.

If you can swim for 10 minutes (with breaks), ride for 45 minutes, and run for 25 minutes, you’re ready to get started. This program is built for beginners with a basic level of fitness who are ready to take on a new challenge with structure and purpose.

This program will take you from a complete novice to a confident, race-ready athlete. It starts with 5–6 hours of training per week and gradually builds to 16–17 hours at its peak. The progressive structure ensures your body adapts week by week—without burning you out early on.

Each week follows a clear, balanced schedule designed to help you build endurance, strength, and consistency:

✓ 3x Swims

✓ 3x Rides

✓ 3x Runs

✓ 2x Strength & Conditioning Sessions

You don’t need to be fast—just consistent. Stick to the plan, put in the work, and by the end, you’ll be more than ready to take on your first half-distance triathlon with confidence.
