Plan Description

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.

🧠 Why Masters Athletes Trust This Plan:
✔️ 3:1 Periodization – Three weeks of building followed by one recovery week to optimize adaptation and reduce injury risk
✔️ Aerobic to Anaerobic Progression – Base-building transitions into higher-intensity intervals for peak race performance
✔️ Masters-Specific Strength Training – Functional exercises enhance joint health, durability, and race-day resilience
✔️ RPE, Heart Rate & Power-Based Workouts – Every session is clear, structured, and personalized to your current fitness
✔️ Device-Synced Swim & Strength* Videos – Easily follow workouts using smart tech and guided video demos

📩 Personalized email coach support is included, ensuring you’re never training alone—get expert help every step of the way.

👉 Ready to conquer the Western Australia Half Distance Triathlon? Let this plan be your path to the finish line—stronger, smarter, and fully prepared.
