The Intermediate 36-Week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is designed specifically to prepare you for the unique challenges of the Gallipoli course — a historic and demanding race that calls for strength, strategy, and endurance across all three disciplines.

🏊‍♂️ Swim Preparation for the Bay at Old Gendarmerie Pier
The single-loop, 1.9 km swim in the calm, clear waters off the Gallipoli coast is ideal for strong pacing and sighting. Our plan builds your open water confidence with progressive swim sessions that emphasize endurance and sighting technique. 🟦 Expect drills that simulate bay conditions and ensure you're race-day ready at 20°C (68°F).

🚴‍♂️ Climb-Ready Cycling for Conkbayiri Hill
With nearly 900m of elevation and the steep climb at Conkbayiri Hill, this 90 km ride is no easy spin. Our plan includes structured hill intervals, strength endurance rides, and power-based workouts that gradually build your climbing capacity and muscular endurance. You'll be fully prepared to handle the fast-rolling first half and the punishing return along Zigindere. ⛰️

🏃‍♂️ Endurance Running Along ANZAC Cove
The 3-loop run on the Gallipoli coast demands mental focus and pacing control. Our 36-week plan uses tempo runs, brick workouts, and threshold intervals to condition your body and mind for the 21.1 km challenge. Long runs align with the race terrain, helping you stay strong through every lap. 🏃
