Plan Description

You've maintained your fitness - you’re not just showing up to finish — and you’re racing to compete. The Sunshine Coast Half Distance Triathlon demands precision: a fast ocean swim, an aggressive 90km bike, and a deceptively challenging coastal run. Our Six-Month Advanced Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is engineered for high-performance amateur triathletes who want to dominate race day—not just survive it.

Starting at 9.5 hours and building to 14 hours per week, this structured plan is designed to push your limits, sharpen your edge, and elevate every aspect of your performance. It’s built for athletes with a solid base who are ready to train with purpose.

🌊 Swim Like a Bullet at Mooloolaba Beach
✔️ Structured endurance sets prepare you for sustained speed over 1.9km in open ocean
✔️ Strength-focused paddle and pull sets build power for a faster stroke in rolling surf conditions

🚴 Ride Hard on the Sunshine Motorway
✔️ Speed-focused interval sessions replicate the fast flats and rolling loops of the Sunshine Coast bike course
✔️ Long rides develop the stamina to hammer the full 90km with confidence and control

🏃‍♂️ Run Strong Over Alexandra Headland
✔️ Precision hill training and tempo efforts prepare you for the punchy terrain and mental grind of the 21.1km run
✔️ Brick sessions mimic race-day fatigue, dialing in your pacing and run form under pressure

🔥 Built for Serious Gains
✔️ V̇O₂ Max Intervals – Maximize aerobic power for stronger surges and faster recovery
✔️ Anaerobic Threshold Work – Hold higher speeds longer without blowing up
✔️ Power Intervals & Sprints – Build that final gear to close strong when it counts

💡 Why This Plan Works
✔️ Specific to the Sunshine Coast Half Distance Triathlon course profile
✔️ Progressively structured for peak race-day performance
✔️ Includes personalized email coach support for strategy, motivation, and adjustments

🎯 You’ve done the base work. Now it’s time to race with intent.

Own your next breakthrough. Train with the plan built for high-level age groupers who race like pros.
