The Gallipoli Half Distance Triathlon is no ordinary race—it demands preparation for a challenging course that blends historical beauty with physical intensity. Our 44-week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is expertly designed to get you to the start line at ANZAC Cove fully prepared—both mentally and physically.

🌊 Swim: The race begins in the protected bay near the Old Gendarmerie Pier, where you’ll face calm, yet open-water conditions. Our training builds your confidence with focused swim technique drills and video instruction, tailored to simulate the bay’s conditions and improve efficiency in a single-loop course.

🚴 Bike: With nearly 900m of elevation gain, the Gallipoli bike course tests your climbing ability and endurance. This plan gradually builds bike volume and integrates structured hill work, V02 intervals, and anaerobic threshold sets—preparing you for early rolling hills and the punishing ascent at Conkbayiri Hill. You’ll be ready for both power climbs and sustained efforts along the return coastal section.

🏃‍♂️ Run: The three-lap run along the historic coastline of the Gallipoli peninsula requires stamina and mental toughness. Our structured RPE and heart rate-based run sessions are developed to build your aerobic base, improve fatigue resistance, and sharpen your pacing across multiple laps.
