Plan Description
Designed specifically for athletes aged 40 and above, this structured, phased program prepares you for the unique demands of this fast, coastal course—no prior long-course experience required.
🏊 Swim Preparation for Mooloolaba Beach
The plan begins with a 12-week base phase that enhances swim technique and endurance in ocean-like conditions, helping you stay strong and confident in the calm but dynamic waters of Mooloolaba Beach.
🚴 Bike Training Built for Sunshine Motorway Speed
You’ll build stamina and power with structured rides that simulate the fast, open roads of the Sunshine Motorway and rolling terrain near Alexandra Headland. Integrated power, heart rate, and RPE metrics ensure you’re training at the right intensity.
🏃 Run Strong Along the Coastal Boardwalk
VO₂ max intervals, hill repeats, and long runs over 32 weeks prepare your legs for the undulating coastal path, including Alexandra Headland Hill. Brick workouts sharpen your pacing and mental grit for the final push to Beach Terrace.
✅ Key Benefits of the Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan:
