Plan Description
Preparing for the Musselman Half Distance Triathlon requires more than general fitness. It calls for targeted, age-aware preparation. Designed for competitive Masters athletes over 40, this 24-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan supports endurance, strength, and long-term progression while reducing injury risk and building confidence for race day.
✅ Smart Periodization: The plan follows a 3:1 build-to-recovery cycle, allowing your body time to adapt to the increasing demands of endurance training, a key component for handling the rolling bike terrain and two-loop run course.
✅ Swim-Specific Preparation: Training includes technique-focused video swim drills and progressive open-water conditioning, ideal for adapting to Seneca Lake’s calm yet unpredictable early morning waters (~72°F).
✅ Bike Power & Strength: Structured bike sessions use Heart Rate and Power Zones to build the sustained effort required for long climbs and fast descents. Strength work enhances pedal efficiency and joint resilience.
✅ Run Efficiency & Durability: A gradual transition from aerobic base to threshold intervals prepares you for the rolling and shaded segments of the run course, where pacing and durability are essential.
✅ Masters-Focused Strength Training: Mobility and injury-prevention routines are integrated to protect tendons and joints—critical for athletes over 40 navigating a six-hour race effort.
This plan is ideal if you’ve completed Sprint or Olympic triathlons and can:
🏊 Swim 1,500 meters
🚴 Bike 30 miles
🏃 Run 5 miles
With weekly volumes building from 7.5 to 12.5 hours, this training plan delivers balanced progression without burnout. Each workout is guided by RPE, HR, and Power metrics for accurate, data-driven results. Bonus features include synced swim workouts and video-based strength training support.
Take the guesswork out of race prep. Train with structure, build confidence, and race the Musselman Half Distance Triathlon ready to perform.
