Plan Description
Racing the Half Distance Triathlon in Melbourne means taking on one of the flattest and fastest triathlon courses in Australia — but don’t be fooled, it still demands a strategic, well-structured approach to training. Our 6-Month Advanced Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is specifically designed to prepare you for the conditions and challenges unique to the Melbourne course. But here's the catch: prior training or a solid mileage foundation is essential as you'll have both anaerobic threshold, and V02 Max training in week 1.
Here’s how the plan equips you to perform your best on race day:
🌊 Swim Preparedness at St. Kilda Beach
✔️ Build confidence in open water with progressive endurance swims
✔️ Adapt to rolling wave starts and cooler 18°C conditions with wetsuit-optional sessions
✔️ Practice navigation and sighting — essential for staying on course between St. Kilda Marina and Catani Gardens
🚴 Bike-Specific Conditioning for Beach Road
✔️ VO₂ Max intervals and aerobic endurance rides mirror the long, flat stretches of Beach Road
✔️ Focused tempo and threshold sessions replicate the steady effort needed over 90km
✔️ Long rides prepare you for maintaining power through both laps and staying mentally strong on this scenic but exposed route
🏃 Run Readiness for the St. Kilda-Elwood Waterfront
✔️ Two-lap race simulation runs sharpen your pacing and psychological focus
✔️ Anaerobic threshold and sprint intervals enhance your ability to push through late-race fatigue
✔️ Long aerobic runs condition your body to thrive in the final 21.1km stretch — especially as you race toward the palm tree-lined finish
💡Why This Half Distance Triathlon Plan Works
From week one’s 9.5-hour load to a peak of 14 hours, the structure is progressive and performance-focused — ideal for athletes with a solid fitness base who are ready to level up.
