This 36-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan is expertly crafted to prepare you for the unique demands of the Half Distance Triathlon Melbourne course. With a rolling swim start at St. Kilda Beach, a fast flat bike along Beach Road, and a scenic flat run by the waterfront, you need a plan that builds endurance, strength, and speed in a structured, progressive way — exactly what this plan delivers.
✅ Tailored Endurance Building: The Base Phase focuses on rebuilding your aerobic capacity and muscular strength, essential for handling the 1.9km swim in cool 18°C waters and powering through the 90km bike course with its two laps along Melbourne’s scenic coastline.
✅ Race-Specific Preparation: The Build & Peak Phase sharpens your efficiency and race-day readiness, honing your swim technique, bike power, and run pacing for the flat, fast courses around St. Kilda and Elwood.
✅ Masters Athlete Focus: Specially designed for athletes over 40, the plan integrates heart rate and power-based workouts that optimize training load and recovery, helping you train smarter while reducing injury risk.
✅ Real-World Simulation: Brick workouts and VO2 max intervals simulate race conditions, boosting your ability to transition smoothly between swim, bike, and run, just like on race day.
✅ Time-Efficient: Starting at 7.5 hours per week and peaking at 12, the plan balances high-quality sessions with your busy lifestyle, ensuring consistent progress without burnout.
