All the information you need – when you need it, so you can start right now, and train with confidence: Quick-Start Guide - The help you need to get off the fence and take the first steps toward the 70.3 Motivation - This book will help you unpack your motivation for doing a 70.3 race, and catalyze it into a motivational mantra to power you through plateaus in training Gear Guide - one of the most common questions from new triathletes: "what gear do I need?" answered in a succinct, no-BS checklist of the essential tri-training gear Exertion - the level of intensity of each workout is governed by an easy-to-use physical exertion scale based on your own perceived level of effort; no need to buy fancy heart rate monitors with this plan Day-by-Day Workout Plan - daily workouts are planned out from start to finish line Weekly Workout Journal - track important behaviors over time to take your training to the next level Fueling - develop a specific, science-based plan for race nutrition Transitions - smoothly and quickly change gears between race disciplines Logistics - tame the race logistics chaos with a succinct, proven approach to each and every part of race logistics Review: Truly for Beginners! - This is a well-written plan with an easy-to-follow and clear layout. I've completed one sprint triathlon prior to registering for a half distance and purchasing this book. While I am only starting week three, I've read through the plan multiple times. There are several measurement errors probably from transferring data from the full ironman plan, but they don't affect readability. I'm a very seasoned runner, a mildly seasoned bike commuter, and a complete novice swimmer. This plan is helpful for beginners because it doesn't go deep into intricate programming like specific hills or track workouts which might overwhelm new runners - same for swimming and cycling. The workbook/journal aspect is also well thought out and useful. Overall, my enthusiasm and motivation is as high as when I registered for my race. Review: 70.3 ✅ - Edited to add- this past weekend I completed my first 70.3 after utilizing this plan! I finished with a time under my goal, and my body felt better than I imagined. Prior to starting this guide, I couldn’t swim 25y and I didn’t own a bike- so truely a beginner! Signing up for my next race and will buy again to document as I go. I liked being able to cross off and document my workout vs plan. Training plan is legit. Officially start training in a couple weeks and excited to put the pieces together. This guide has been crucial for my prep! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #413,063 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #102 in Triathlons (Books) #430 in Running & Jogging (Books) #658 in Sports Training (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 29 Reviews | ## Images ![The 20-Week Half Ironman: A Step-by-Step Beginner's Guide to Conquering the Half Ironman Race (Swim Bike Run 101 | Triathlon Training Field Guides) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ji9m1LGgL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Truly for Beginners! *by S***H on February 18, 2024* This is a well-written plan with an easy-to-follow and clear layout.

Plan does a nice job of laying out weekly works-outs and additional information to help prepare, including nutrition, logistics, and transitions to name a few. There is space to journal as well to help track progress, goals, etc. I highly recommmed this plan and will use it for my second 70.3 this year. ## Frequently Bought Together - The 20-Week Half Ironman: A Step-by-Step Beginner's Guide to Conquering the Half Ironman Race (Swim Bike Run 101 | Triathlon Training Field Guides) - The 40-Week Ironman: A Step-by-Step Beginner's Guide to Conquering the Ultimate Triathlon Challenge (Swim Bike Run 101 | Triathlon Training Field Guides) - The Triathlete's Training Bible: The World's Most Comprehensive Training Guide, 5th Edition --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/538403867-the-20-week-half-ironman-a-step-by-step-beginners](https://www.desertcart.no/products/538403867-the-20-week-half-ironman-a-step-by-step-beginners) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
