From day one, this plan walks beside you, helping you build confidence in the water, strength on the bike, and steady pacing on the run. You’ll gradually go from “Can I really do this?” to “I can’t believe I did this!”

🏊 Swim Ready for St. Kilda Beach (1.9km)
We’ll help you feel comfortable and capable in open water—even if you’re new to swimming. With easy-to-follow video drills and guided sessions, you’ll glide through the bay toward Catani Gardens ready and confident.

🚴 Bike Strong Along Beach Road (90km)
Melbourne’s scenic Beach Road is flat, fast, and fun—and our plan prepares you to handle every kilometer. You’ll build endurance step-by-step with rides based on effort, not speed, so you learn to pace without pressure.

🏃 Run Confidently Along the Waterfront (21.1km)
Your legs will be ready for the run thanks to smart brick sessions and manageable weekly progressions. The two-lap course along the coast? You’ll enjoy the views—and the feeling of strength as you push toward the finish.
