Plan Description
Get race-day ready for the Half Distance Triathlon Melbourne with this proven 44-week triathlon training plan—built specifically for athletes 40+ who want to race strong, stay injury-free, and finish with confidence.
🏊♂️ Swim Ready for St. Kilda
The 1.9km open water swim at St. Kilda Beach calls for calm confidence and clean technique. Early in the plan, you’ll focus on swim mechanics, endurance, and comfort in open water-like conditions—mirroring the rolling start and cool 18°C temperatures of race day.
🚴♀️ Bike Strong on Beach Road
Melbourne’s flat and fast 90km ride demands steady power and mental focus. With race-specific bricks, power-based intervals, and pacing strategies, you’ll be ready to tackle both laps of the scenic out-and-back through Half Moon Bay and Mordialloc.
🏃♂️ Run Smooth Along the Bay
The two-lap 21.1km run along Elwood and St. Kilda’s palm-lined waterfront offers stunning views—but requires solid endurance and smart pacing. This plan builds your run legs through structured intervals and race-pace sessions that simulate real-world fatigue.
