.
🌊 SWIM – Conquer the Olympic Waters
.
This plan starts with 12 weeks of base training—no prior experience required. You'll build comfort in open water with progressive swim workouts that mimic the calm, single-lap course of Penrith Lake. Our drills and technique videos sharpen your form for a fast, confident start off the pontoon and smooth navigation under the Olympic Bridge.
.
🚴 BIKE – Master the Scenic Yet Demanding Course
.
The 90km bike course at Western Sydney includes two technical laps with U-turns, flats, and smooth tarmac. Our training plan includes structured power-based rides, tempo sessions, and VO2 intervals that prepare you for every course demand. By gradually building from 9 to 14 hours a week, you'll develop the stamina and handling skills needed for race-specific terrain, including stretches along Castlereagh Road.
.
🏃 RUN – Sustain Your Pace, Own the Finish
.
With three laps on flat but mentally challenging paths around the Regatta Centre, your run will test focus and pacing. The plan’s brick sessions simulate bike-to-run transitions, while Anaerobic Threshold and race-pace efforts teach you to hold strong over 21.1km. With guidance for heart rate and power zones, you’ll avoid overpacing and close the race with confidence.
