Plan Description
This structured Half Distance Triathlon training plan is tailored to the demands of the Busselton course, giving you the tools and confidence you need on race day. With its calm, protected waters, flat coastal roads, and vibrant foreshore run, the Half Distance Triathlon in Western Australia is ideal for athletes chasing personal bests — but only if you're properly prepared.
✅ Base Training First: Before starting this plan, it’s recommended you’ve built a solid foundation — ideally by consistently training 6–8 hours per week for the past 8 to 12 weeks. This base ensures you’re ready for the increasing volume and intensity that Half Distance racing demands.
✅ Swim Ready: Includes open-water sessions that mirror the protected 1.9KM foreshore swim with a focus on endurance, sighting, and race-day pacing — ideal for the calm 66°F (19°C) waters of Geographe Bay.
✅ Bike Strong: Develop consistent power output with tempo rides and long endurance sessions tailored to the flat 90KM coastal course through scenic bushland and Tuart Forest.
✅ Run Confident: Brick workouts and endurance runs are designed for the two-lap, mostly flat 21.1KM run past the iconic Busselton Jetty and vibrant foreshore. You'll build pacing, strength, and mental resilience.
✅ Train Like a Pro:
🚴♀️ Gradual volume build from 8 to 12 hours/week
💪 VO2 max intervals and threshold training to build top-end speed
🏊♂️ Open water swim prep and technique refinement
🏃♂️ Brick sessions that simulate race-day fatigue and effort
📩 Includes email-based coach support to keep you motivated and on track
You’ve committed to racing one of the world’s most stunning and beginner-friendly Half Distance Triathlons. Now train with structure, purpose, and expert support.
🔥 Don’t leave your race to chance — build the fitness, confidence, and endurance to succeed in Busselton.
👉 The journey to your strongest Half Distance Triathlon starts here — we’re with you every step of the way.
