Plan Description
The Half Distance Triathlon Muskoka is a race defined by beauty and challenge—calm waters, relentless climbs, and a hilly run through forested terrain. To perform well here, especially as a Masters athlete over 40, you need more than motivation—you need a smart, structured plan that builds resilience, efficiency, and race-day readiness.
This six-month Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is purpose-built for experienced athletes like you, progressing from base fitness to peak performance with a focus on the demands of the Muskoka course.
✅ What Makes This Plan Effective for Muskoka
🏊 Swim-Specific Conditioning: The single-loop swim in Peninsula Lake rewards clean technique and aerobic endurance. Our workouts refine open-water skills and boost swim economy—key for a strong, steady effort in calm lake conditions.
🚴 Bike Strength & Stamina: The 90 km bike course features over 1,200 meters of climbing. Targeted bike sessions develop strength on hills, improve pacing on rolling terrain, and sharpen your ability to recover between efforts.
🏃 Run Durability on Variable Terrain: With short, punchy hills and two loops, the 21.1 km run requires muscular endurance and smart energy distribution. This plan builds leg strength and mental focus to help you stay composed deep into the race.
✅ Plan Highlights for Masters Athletes
📅 24 Weeks of Structured Training: A sustainable progression that starts at 7.5 hours/week and peaks at 12.5 hours/week.
🔁 3:1 Training Cycle: Three weeks of load followed by one recovery week—essential for adaptation and injury prevention.
💪 Age-Specific Strength Workouts: Maintain mobility, reinforce running mechanics, and reduce injury risk with functional strength training designed for aging athletes.
🔬 RPE, Heart Rate & Power-Based Workouts: Sessions guided by effort and data to help you train at the right intensity, every time.
