Plan Description
Preparing for the Half Distance Triathlon in Melbourne means being ready for a fast, flat, yet technically demanding course. This 44-week Intermediate Triathlon Training Plan is strategically designed to help you perform at your best across the swim, bike, and run segments—especially on Melbourne’s unique coastal terrain.
🌊 Swim (1.9km) – St. Kilda Beach Conditions:
With water temps averaging 18°C, race day might be wetsuit-optional. Our plan prepares you for open water conditions with dedicated swim sessions, sighting practice, and wetsuit familiarity. You'll gain confidence for the out-and-back course toward St. Kilda Marina—starting strong in a rolling wave format and finishing smooth into Catani Gardens.
🚴 Bike (90km) – Fast, Flat, and Coastal:
Beach Road’s long, flat stretches can tempt you to go out too hard. This plan’s progressive power-based rides and structured intervals build your endurance and teach pacing for multi-lap courses. You'll train for sustained efforts, efficient fueling, and how to handle potential winds along Half Moon Bay and Mordialloc.
🏃 Run (21.1km) – Flat, Scenic, and Strategic:
The flat two-loop run from Elwood to St. Kilda requires mental toughness and smart pacing. With tempo runs, brick workouts, and anaerobic threshold sessions, you'll be race-day ready to hold steady effort while soaking up views of the Melbourne skyline and palm-lined finish.
