Plan Description
Prepare to tackle the Long Distance Triathlon Australia with confidence using our beginner-friendly Six Month Long Distance Triathlon training plan. Designed specifically for athletes ready to take on the 3.8 km swim in Lake Burley Griffin, the 180 km bike course featuring Majura Parkway and Tuggeranong climbs, and the fast, spectator-friendly 42 km run, this plan builds endurance, strength, and technique for race day success.
Prerequisite Training Required: Ensure a solid base before starting: swim 2.5 km, cycle 45 miles, and run continuously for 60 minutes.
Structured Approach: Our 3/1 framework balances three weeks of focused training with one week of active recovery, helping you maximize gains while minimizing fatigue. Training starts at 7.5 hours per week and gradually ramps to 14 hours, preparing you for the demands of a Long Distance Triathlon.
Focused Training Phases: Begin by building strength, base endurance, and swim efficiency. Incorporate VO2 interval swim sessions, ride-specific bike workouts, and run technique drills, all designed to mirror the challenges of Long Distance Triathlon Australia.

✅ AI-Generated Run Gait Analysis – Optimize form for speed and efficiency.
✅ Instructional Swim Drills – Master technique for a smooth 3.8 km swim.
✅ RPE & Heart Rate Structured Sessions – Tailored bike and run workouts to match your exertion levels.
