Plan Description

With a flat and fast course along Beach Road and a breathtaking run along St. Kilda’s waterfront, this event is perfect for athletes looking to challenge themselves and set a new personal best. Our 44-week Beginner Training Plan is specifically crafted to prepare you for every element of this iconic race.

Here’s how this plan gets you race-day ready:

✅ Swim Preparedness at St. Kilda Beach
From day one, our plan integrates technique-focused swim workouts that simulate open water conditions, ideal for the rolling wave start and ocean conditions at St. Kilda Beach (18°C, wetsuit optional). Video-based drills sharpen your stroke efficiency and boost confidence in open water.

✅ Bike-Ready for Melbourne’s Fast Beach Road Course
Structured RPE/Heart Rate-guided bike sessions build strength and sustained power—perfect for the flat, two-lap 90km course. You’ll train specifically for steady pacing and wind exposure common along Melbourne’s coastline.

✅ Run Strong on the Waterfront
Flat terrain demands efficiency and pace control. Our RPE and HR-based run sessions build stamina and teach pacing strategy for the 21.1km run along Elwood’s scenic path. Two-lap simulation runs are built in to prepare both mind and body.

✅ Build Endurance, Power & Confidence
🏋️‍♂️ The first 12 weeks focus on strength, mobility, and foundational endurance—no base training required beforehand.
🔥 From Week 13, you begin a progressive build from 9.5 to 14 training hours, incorporating V02 max intervals, anaerobic threshold training, and fatigue-resilience strategies.

✅ Race Simulation & Nutrition Testing
Plan includes tune-up “B” and “C” race windows to rehearse nutrition and pacing strategies—critical for race day success.

✅ Beginner-Friendly Strength Training
Targeted strength sessions support injury prevention and performance, even if you're new to triathlon.

🏁 Everything you need for a successful Half Distance Triathlon—plus personalized coach email support to guide you every step of the way.

You’re not just buying a training plan—you’re investing in your race-day performance.
