Plan Description
The 36-Week Advanced Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is engineered to match the precise demands of the Middle Distance Triathlon Gallipoli—one of the most historic and physically demanding events on the circuit.
🏊 Swim (1.9 km) – With calm bay waters off the Old Gendarmerie Pier, this single-loop swim demands efficiency and open-water confidence. Our plan includes targeted swim sessions that sharpen technique, improve pacing, and simulate real race conditions to help you move smoothly through Gallipoli’s cooler waters (~20°C / 68°F).
🚴 Bike (90 km / 900m elevation gain) – The Gallipoli bike course is a single-loop test of strength and strategy. With its early rolling terrain and punishing climbs—especially Conkbayiri Hill—your training will be dialed in with:
✔️ Climbing Acceleration Intervals to prepare you for steep gradients
✔️ Anaerobic Power & Sprint Workouts to develop punch on short climbs
✔️ Endurance Aerobic Rides for sustainable power across the scenic but demanding course
🏃 Run (21.1 km) – The three-lap coastal run from ANZAC Cove offers stunning views but challenges your pacing and fatigue resistance late in the race. You’ll build stamina and mental toughness through:
✔️ Progressive Long Runs
✔️ Anaerobic Threshold Workouts
✔️ V02 Max Intervals to sharpen speed and resilience
💥 Why Athletes Choose This Plan:
✅ 36-week proven structure with 3 weeks load / 1 week recovery
✅ Begins at 9.5 hrs/week, peaks at 14.5 hrs/week for safe, progressive overload
✅ Functional and traditional strength phases tailored to triathlon performance
✅ Personalized email coaching support to answer questions, fine-tune pacing, and boost motivation
✅ Ideal for advanced age-groupers and ambitious racers looking to thrive, not just survive, on race day
This isn't just a plan—it's your competitive edge for the Gallipoli Half Distance Triathlon. Prepare with purpose, confidence, and expert support at every stage.
👉 Secure your training plan today and start building the fitness you need to perform your best on one of triathlon’s most meaningful stages.
