Plan Description

When planning to race the Half Distance Triathlon in Melbourne means tackling a coastal swim, a fast and flat bike leg along Beach Road, and a scenic run along the waterfront. Our 44-week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is purpose-built to help you conquer this course with confidence—whether you're aiming to finish strong or set a personal best.

Here’s how our plan specifically prepares you for the Half Distance Triathlon Melbourne course:

🏊‍♂️ Swim – St. Kilda Beach (1.9km)
✔️ Confidence in open water: Structured open water simulation workouts replicate race-day conditions—waves, sighting, and navigation.
✔️ Efficient technique: Drills focus on improving stroke economy and bilateral breathing—essential for staying relaxed and fast in the bay.

🚴‍♂️ Bike – Beach Road (90km)
✔️ Speed-ready endurance: Our fast-pace endurance rides mimic Melbourne’s flat profile, helping you maintain high cadence and steady power across two laps.
✔️ Course-specific intervals: Long intervals at race intensity replicate headwinds and surges near Half Moon Bay and Mordialloc.
✔️ Bike handling & pacing: Strategic sessions build the skills needed for tight turns, aid stations, and sustained pacing on open roads.

🏃‍♂️ Run – Elwood & St. Kilda Foreshore (21.1km)
✔️ Run off the bike strong: Brick workouts train your body to run efficiently after cycling—crucial for the fast, flat Melbourne run course.
✔️ Heat and hydration prep: Learn to manage effort and fueling with timed nutrition and hydration strategies in peak-season heat.
✔️ Mental focus: Simulation runs along similar terrain help you stay mentally sharp for a powerful palm-lined finish at Catani Gardens.
