Plan Description
Crush the Half Distance Triathlon at Eagleman – A Proven Training Plan for Athletes 45+
You’ve got the drive. We’ve got the blueprint. This elite 44-week training plan is purpose-built for athletes 45 and over who are ready to conquer the Half Distance Triathlon at Eagleman in Cambridge, Maryland. Whether you’re new to endurance sports or returning with unfinished business, this plan is designed to meet you where you are and take you to peak performance.
Why This Plan Works for Eagleman
The Eagleman Half Distance Triathlon is deceptively tough. Sure, the course is flat—but the Choptank River’s currents, unpredictable winds through the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, and hot June weather require smart, focused preparation. This plan trains you specifically for those race-day demands.
✅ Tidal Swim Prep: Simulate current conditions with focused open water sessions and strategic pacing to master the Choptank’s pull.
✅ Flat but Windy Bike Adaptation: Build sustained power and mental toughness with long intervals designed for flat terrain and crosswinds.
✅ Heat-Resilient Run Training: Condition your body for Eagleman’s typical 80°F (27°C) race day with heat-adapted brick workouts.
✅ Double Out-and-Back Ready: Practice pacing and mental grit with repeat interval sessions to mimic the rhythm of Eagleman's run course.
✅ Master’s Focused Strength & Recovery: Prevent injury and build durability with age-smart strength training and recovery cycles.
What You’ll Gain

✔ Build Smart: 12-week base phase lays your foundation, followed by 32 weeks of race-specific training.
✔ Device-Compatible: Easily sync with Garmin, smartwatches, and other platforms.
