Plan Description

Ready to race fast and finish strong on one of the flattest, fastest courses in North America? The Half Distance Texas – Galveston Triathlon is more than just a race—it's your opportunity to achieve peak performance in a PR-perfect setting. And with the Competitive Masters 40+ Six-Month Training Plan, you’ll arrive at the start line prepared to crush every mile.

Why This Plan Works for Galveston
The Galveston course is built for speed, and this program is engineered to match it. With a 1.2-mile saltwater swim in calm Offats Bayou, a lightning-fast 56-mile bike along the Gulf Coast, and a spectator-friendly 3-loop run course through scenic Moody Gardens, this race rewards athletes who train with purpose. Our training plan emphasizes smart periodization, masters-specific strength, and precise endurance building to help you peak right on race day.

Tailored for Masters Athletes (Age 40+)
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all program. You’ve put in years of work, and now it’s time to maximize your potential. This training system is built around your physiology, recovery needs, and performance goals. You’ll move from base building to threshold training and VO2 max development—all while staying strong, injury-free, and laser-focused on race-day execution.
