Plan Description
How This Training Plan Supports Success at the Muncie Half Distance Triathlon
This 44-week training plan is engineered to meet the needs of athletes over 40, aligning with the physiological demands of the Muncie course.
✅ Swim Preparedness for Prairie Creek Reservoir
The plan’s 12-week base phase emphasizes swim technique and endurance—crucial for navigating Muncie's calm but potentially crowded waters. Structured swim workouts and video-guided drills enhance stroke efficiency, helping you conserve energy for the rest of the race.
✅ Bike-Specific Conditioning for a Flat, Fast Course
The 56-mile out-and-back bike segment is known for its speed and exposure to wind. This plan builds muscular endurance through sustained power intervals and zone-based training, with emphasis on pacing and handling light crosswinds—conditions frequently experienced on Muncie’s state highways.
✅ Run Resilience for Heat and Rolling Terrain
The 13.1-mile run around the reservoir introduces gradual elevation changes and summer heat. The plan’s progressive run volume, brick sessions, and heat-adaptation strategies prepare you for efficient pacing and mental focus under high temperatures (83°F/28°C average).
Why Masters Athletes Benefit from This Plan
