Plan Description
The Half Distance Triathlon Western Australia course is fast, flat, and primed for personal bests—with a protected swim, scenic coastal bike, and a vibrant, mostly flat run along the Busselton Foreshore. To conquer this stunning yet demanding course, your training must go beyond generic plans. That’s where the Masters 40+ – 36-Week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan comes in.
✅ Base Phase (12 Weeks)
Build the aerobic engine you need for the 1.9KM protected foreshore swim. Expect lower intensity sessions that lay the foundation for sustained effort—ideal for the calm but chilly 66°F (19°C) waters of Geographe Bay.
✅ Build & Peak Phase (24 Weeks)
Enhance bike power for the flat, fast 90KM ride through Tuart Forest and along the coast. VO2 max intervals and brick workouts simulate race conditions, helping you hold strong across shifting winds and long, open straights.
✅ Masters-Specific Strength Training
Supports muscle preservation and injury resistance—key for the 21.1KM run on firm pavement near Busselton Jetty. These sessions help improve running form, delay fatigue, and boost late-race speed.
✅ Integrated Swim Sessions & Open Water Focus
Weekly swim workouts (with video drills) prep you for smooth sighting and pace control—perfect for the calm bay swim, where rhythm matters more than brute strength.
✅ Heart Rate & Power-Based Workouts
Every workout is designed to be compatible with Garmin and other leading platforms, ensuring your pacing strategy matches the demands of this fast Half Distance Triathlon course.
✅ Periodized 3:1 Training Structure
Promotes steady progression without burnout—ideal for busy Masters athletes balancing work, family, and training.
This plan delivers the structure, science, and support you need to show up at the Busselton start line confident and race-ready.
