Plan Description
Unlock Your Full Triathlon Potential: Elite-Level Training for Master Athletes 40+
Ready to crush your next Half Distance Triathlon in Galveston, Texas? With its fast, flat course and beachside backdrop, this race is built for personal bests—and this 44-week, masters-focused training plan is designed to help you arrive at the start line confident, fit, and fully prepared.
Why This Plan Delivers Results
🏖 Tailored for Galveston’s Course
Galveston's protected bay swim, flat Gulf Coast bike, and three-loop run demand endurance, precision pacing, and smart heat adaptation. This plan strategically builds your stamina and speed while preparing you for the unique demands of the course—especially the warm Texas sun and coastal winds.
🏊 Structured for Progress, Not Burnout
Start with a manageable 12-week base phase—even if you're new to endurance sports. The plan then transitions into 32 weeks of targeted triathlon training that includes race simulations, brick workouts, and periodized recovery weeks for optimal adaptation.
🧠 Built for Masters Athletes 40+
Age is just a number—if you train smart. This program includes joint-friendly strength routines, injury prevention protocols, and recovery-focused scheduling specifically designed for older athletes.
📲 Tech-Integrated for Smart Training
Every session is compatible with Garmin, smartwatches, and other tracking platforms. Whether you train by RPE, heart rate, or power, you’ll know exactly how hard to push and when to rest.
🔥 Peak Performance in Every Discipline
Swim: 168 technique-driven sessions (61 hours)
Bike: 151 focused rides (143 hours)
Run: 121 balanced sessions (76 hours)
Strength: 98 age-specific routines (70 hours)
What You’ll Gain
Confidence in Race Conditions: Dial in your pacing, hydration, and nutrition strategies for Galveston’s predictable spring temps (~76°F).

Stronger Bike Splits: Build sustainable power for Galveston’s flat, wind-sensitive bike leg.

This isn’t just a plan. It’s your blueprint for a breakthrough race.
