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.
