The Half Distance Triathlon in Western Australia offers everything athletes love: a fast, flat course, warm coastal weather, and a supportive atmosphere for personal bests. This 24-week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is designed specifically for competitive Masters athletes over 40, equipping you to tackle every leg of the race with strength, endurance, and confidence.
✅ Base Requirements to Begin
This plan is ideal for athletes who have completed Sprint or Olympic triathlons and are ready for the next step. You should already be able to:
🏊 Swim: 1,500 meters continuously
🚴♂️ Bike: 30 miles at a moderate effort
🏃 Run: At least 5 miles comfortably
If you meet these starting points, this plan will help you build toward a peak performance in Busselton.
How This Plan Prepares You for the Western Australia Course
✅ Swim-Ready for Geographe Bay – The calm, protected 1.9KM swim is ideal for mastering open water pacing and technique. You'll develop stroke efficiency and endurance through structured swim sets and expert-led video drills.
✅ Power for the Coastal Bike Course – The fast 90KM bike route through the Tuart Forest demands consistent power output. You'll train with heart rate and power zones to dial in pacing and build long-ride stamina.
✅ Run Strong Along the Foreshore – The 21.1KM two-lap course along Busselton Jetty requires pacing discipline and strong form. This plan includes progressive long runs, brick sessions, and strength work to keep your legs firing to the finish.
