Plan Description
Tackle the coastal challenge of the Half Distance Triathlon Mossel Bay South Africa with a race-specific training plan built for serious triathletes. With a sea swim from Santos to De Bakke Beach, a hilly 90km ride (1,020m elevation), and a rolling 21.1km three-lap run through the harbor and old town, this course demands strength, endurance, and precision.
Our Six-Month Advanced Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is engineered to prepare you for every element of this course — and help you perform at your peak.
🔻 Base Fitness Requirement
Before starting, you should already be training consistently:
✔️ Minimum of 6–8 hours per week for the past 8–10 weeks
✔️ Long ride of at least 1.5 hours
✔️ Long run of at least 45 minutes
This plan is designed for experienced age group triathletes with a solid endurance foundation.
💥 Why This Plan Works for Mossel Bay
✅ Open Water Swim Prep
Get confident for the ocean start with sessions focused on sighting, pacing, and optional wetsuit scenarios.
✅ Bike Power for the Climbs
With over 1,000m of elevation, you’ll need strength and pacing. Structured intervals, tempo sets, and anaerobic hill repeats mimic the Herbertsdale road’s punchy profile.
✅ Run-Ready for Undulations
Train to handle the 3-lap rolling run with pacing strategies, mid-run surges, and fatigue resistance — ideal for that final push along the Point walkway.
✅ Progressive Weekly Volume
Starts at 9.5 hours/week and builds to a peak of 14 hours — balancing challenge and recovery.
✅ Performance-Focused Sessions
🚴♂️ VO2 Max Bike Intervals – Build high-end aerobic power
🏃♂️ Threshold Runs – Sustain faster paces for longer
💥 Sprint & Power Work – Finish strong on hills and final miles
This isn’t just another plan. It’s a performance roadmap designed to match the specific demands of Mossel Bay’s Half Distance Triathlon.
✨ Includes personalized email coach support — so you’re never training alone.
👉 Take the next step. Train with purpose. Race Mossel Bay with confidence.
