The Melbourne Half Distance Triathlon features a rolling start swim at St. Kilda Beach, a flat and fast 90km ride along Beach Road, and a scenic, flat run through St. Kilda and Elwood. This plan is specifically designed to help you conquer every leg of that course — whether you’re tackling your first Half Distance Triathlon or returning for a faster finish.
This training plan gives you the structure and support you need to show up strong and ready on race day, but only if you currently have a solid base of training of 6 to 8 weeks.
Here’s how this plan sets you up for success:
✅ Built for Beginners: Perfect for newer triathletes, this plan provides a clear, achievable path to race day success. Before starting, just be sure you've got a solid aerobic base from 4–6 weeks of light endurance training.
✅ Race-Specific Preparation: You’ll practice open-water swim skills to prepare for the conditions at St. Kilda Beach. Bike sessions mimic the fast, flat terrain of Beach Road, helping you build strength for sustained efforts. And the run training targets pacing strategies for the smooth, scenic course along the waterfront.
✅ Gradual Endurance Progression: From week to week, your stamina will grow through smart, progressive workouts that include VO2 intervals, anaerobic threshold sets, and brick sessions designed to replicate race demands.
✅ Complete Training Toolkit: Gain strength, speed, and confidence with guided swim drills, strength training videos, and bike/run sessions based on RPE and heart rate—no guesswork, just results.
✅ Swim, Bike, Run—Smarter: Learn efficient technique, smart pacing, and race-day strategies, with workouts that emphasize efficiency over exhaustion.
✅ Coach-In-Your-Corner Support: Have a question? Stuck on a session? You’ll have access to personalized email support from a coach who’s committed to your success.
