Plan Description
This Six-Month Half Distance Intermediate Plan is designed to optimize your performance for the Half Distance Triathlon in Busselton.
1. Establishing a Strong Foundation
Before starting this program, it’s recommended that you have a solid endurance base, ideally completing an Olympic-distance triathlon. This ensures you’re prepared for the increasing training load and the demands of long-distance racing.
2. Structured, Progressive Training
The plan begins with 8 hours of training per week, gradually building to 12 hours, allowing for sustainable improvement while minimizing injury risk.
Workouts focus on endurance, tempo training, and race-specific preparation, ensuring you can efficiently handle Busselton’s terrain and conditions.
3. Race-Specific Training for Each Discipline
🏊 Swim – 1.9KM (1.2 miles)
Trains you for open-water efficiency with sustained efforts and sighting practice.
Focus on tempo swims and endurance sets to build comfort in Busselton’s calm, near-shore waters (66°F/19°C).
Includes progressive distance swims up to and beyond race distance for confidence on race day.
🚴 Bike – 90KM (56 miles)
Long, flat-course rides at race pace prepare you for Busselton’s single-lap bike course.
Interval sessions improve aerobic endurance and power, helping you maintain speed throughout the coastal and forested terrain.
Brick workouts simulate bike-to-run fatigue, crucial for a smooth transition into the half marathon.
🏃 Run – 21.1KM (13.1 miles)
Includes progressive long runs and threshold workouts to build endurance and speed.
Brick sessions train your body to adjust quickly from cycling to running, crucial for Busselton’s fast two-lap run course.
Incorporates VO2 max intervals and endurance runs to ensure you can hold a strong pace along the scenic foreshore and Busselton Jetty.
4. Peak Performance & Tapering Phase
Strength and endurance sessions progressively increase intensity while maintaining recovery to avoid burnout.
Anaerobic threshold and VO2 max workouts develop race-day speed and stamina.
Tapering in the final weeks reduces volume while keeping intensity high, ensuring peak performance when you hit the start line.
