Plan Description

Ready to conquer the legendary Full Distance Triathlon Australia in Port Macquarie? This isn't just any race—it's the original long-course triathlon on Australian soil, a true rite of passage for Aussie triathletes. Whether you're tackling the Hastings River swim, grinding up Matthew Flinders Drive, or finishing on the electric red carpet at Town Green, our 44-week training plan is engineered to get you there stronger, faster, and fully prepared.


Our plan begins with a 12-week Foundation Phase, focusing on building aerobic strength, developing technique, and establishing consistency. You'll ease into training with a manageable 4.5 hours in week 1, gradually increasing to 8 hours by week 11. Week 12 caps off this phase with a challenging brick workout designed to boost your endurance and mental resilience.

From there, you’ll transition into a 32-week Build & Race Phase. This portion of the program is laser-focused on Full Distance Triathlon performance—perfect for athletes eyeing Port Macquarie. Starting at 8.5 hours per week, you'll peak at around 16 hours of carefully periodized training. We factor in key opportunities for “B” and “C” races to sharpen your form without risking burnout.

💪 A PLAN THAT TRAINS SMARTER—NOT JUST HARDER

What sets this plan apart?

Open Water Simulation: Master river swim dynamics, including sighting, pacing, and calm-water confidence for the unique Hastings River course.

Bike Power Development: Dominate the rollers of Winery Drive, the Pembrooke climbs, and the punishing Matthew Flinders ascent with targeted strength endurance rides.

Run Durability & Speed: Crush the four-lap course through Town Beach and the breakwall with progressive tempo, interval, and brick sessions built for race-day legs.

Comprehensive Strength & Conditioning: Injury prevention, mobility, and core stability sessions built in.

Advanced Performance Training: VO₂ max work, lactate threshold training, and progressive track workouts to elevate your speed and stamina.

You’re not just training to finish—you’re training to race with purpose and confidence.

Train with precision. Show up prepared. Cross the finish line proud.

Your journey to the Full Distance Triathlon Australia starts now. Don’t leave race day to chance—join athletes across Australia who are already building toward their strongest performance yet.
