Plan Description

Race day in Valencia, Spain, is more than just a triathlon—it's a celebration of culture, beauty, and performance. Whether you're aiming to conquer your first Half Distance Triathlon or sharpen your edge for a podium push, this 44-week plan is designed to prepare you for every challenge on the course—from the calm Marina de Valencia swim to the climbs of Sierra Calderona and the fast-paced Túria River run.

Why This Plan Works for You
This expertly crafted training plan is optimized for athletes 40+ and built with a clear, structured progression—no prior endurance experience needed. You’ll build the base, elevate your performance, and arrive in Valencia confident, strong, and race-ready.

✅ All Levels Welcome
Begin with a 12-week base phase to develop fundamental endurance, mobility, and sport-specific strength. From there, transition into 32 weeks of focused triathlon training tailored to your goals.

✅ Seamless Tech Integration
Track your swim, bike, and run sessions with Garmin and other compatible devices. Every workout includes effort targets using RPE, heart rate, or power zones.

✅ Built-In Injury Prevention
Strength training and recovery weeks are programmed with the unique needs of Masters triathletes in mind. Stay consistent, stay healthy.

✅ Periodized 3:1 Training Structure
Train hard for three weeks, then recover with one week of lower intensity—ideal for long-term progression and peak performance on race day.

What You’ll Do
Swim: 168 sessions | 61 hours

Bike: 151 sessions | 143 hours

Run: 121 sessions | 76 hours

Strength: 98 sessions | 70 hours

Race-Ready Structure
🌀 Phase 1: Base (12 Weeks)
Build from 4 to 10.5 hours/week. Focus on aerobic fitness and foundational technique—especially swim mechanics for the Marina’s sheltered waters.

🔥 Phase 2: Triathlon-Specific (32 Weeks)
Volume increases from 8 to 12.5 hours/week. Practice pacing, transitions, brick sessions, and terrain-specific workouts that mirror Valencia’s 800m of elevation gain and fast river path finish.

Bonus Features
✔ Swim drill videos for real-time stroke improvement
✔ RPE, heart rate, and power-based targets to train smarter
✔ Masters-specific recovery, mobility, and strength routines
✔ No need for printed plans—everything syncs with your device
