Plan Description

Train with Purpose for the Half Distance Triathlon France – Nice

Tailored Coaching for Masters Athletes 40+ | 24-Week Plan with Email Support

The Half Distance Triathlon in Nice, France, is a demanding yet iconic race—featuring a sea swim in the Mediterranean, a hilly bike course with the ascent of Col de Vence, and a scenic run along the Promenade des Anglais. For Masters athletes over 40, preparing strategically is essential to race strong and finish proud. This structured 24-week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is built specifically to help you do just that.

✅ Why This Plan Matters for Nice
The challenging terrain and climate of Nice call for smart preparation. This plan supports you in meeting every demand of the course:

✅ Swim Preparedness

Open water workouts and swim drills simulate conditions in the Mediterranean

Technique-focused sessions help you manage chop and sighting from Plage des Ponchettes

✅ Bike Course Readiness

Progressive hill training to build strength for the Col de Vence

Long endurance rides that replicate the 90 km single-loop through the countryside

Power-based sessions for effective pacing and climbing control

✅ Run Course Execution

Brick workouts prepare your legs for the two-loop run along the Promenade des Anglais

Tempo and threshold runs build stamina and late-race speed

Race-specific workouts dial in pacing under warm race-day conditions (~75°F)

🔧 Built Specifically for Masters Athletes
This plan uses a 3:1 training cycle (three weeks of build, one week of recovery) to promote optimal adaptation and reduce injury risk. Weekly hours ramp up gradually from 7.5 to 12.5, ensuring consistent progress without burnout.

💪 Additional Features Include:

🎯 Heart Rate and Power-Based Training

🏊‍♂️ Video Swim Drills with expert technique instruction

🧘 Strength Workouts with demos tailored for aging athletes

📅 Auto-sync swim sessions with compatible training platforms
