Plan Description
Train Smart for the Half Distance Triathlon Ohio: Built for Masters Athletes Over 40
The Half Distance Triathlon Ohio offers a memorable course with unique race-day demands—warm, open-water swimming (78°F), a fast and flat 56-mile bike ride through rural Erie and Sandusky Counties, and a two-loop 13.1-mile run through downtown Sandusky, where heat (avg. 88°F) and exposure can challenge even experienced competitors.
This 24-week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is designed specifically for Masters athletes over 40 to meet those demands with purpose and precision. If you have a base where you can finish a Sprint or Olympic distance triathlon and ready to advance, this program builds the endurance, strength, and race-specific skills needed to succeed in Ohio’s conditions.
✅ Endurance Built for Race Day
Progressive training blocks develop aerobic fitness and muscular stamina to help you complete this half distance event strong. Long bricks and open-water simulation swims prepare you for the ferry-start and warm-water conditions unique to Sandusky Bay.
🔥 Heat-Adapted Run Conditioning
Weekly tempo runs, pacing strategies, and hydration-focused workouts equip you for the flat, exposed course. By race day, you'll be ready to run steady and efficiently—especially important in Ohio’s summer conditions.
🚴♂️ Bike Strength & Efficiency
The flat bike course demands consistent power output. This plan includes threshold intervals, cadence drills, and long rides to fine-tune your pace and prevent fatigue late in the race.
💪 Masters-Focused Strength & Mobility
Functional strength sessions with demo videos improve joint stability and reduce injury risk—critical for athletes over 40 managing cumulative training loads.
📈 Smart, Data-Driven Coaching
All workouts use Rate of Perceived Effort (RPE), Heart Rate, and Power to guide intensity, helping you train efficiently and recover effectively.
🧠 Confidence Through Structure
This isn't just a set of workouts—it's a clear roadmap with built-in recovery, email support from a coach, and flexible progression to support your goals and lifestyle.
Take the next step toward your Half Distance Triathlon goals.
Start your structured, age-aware training today—with guidance, purpose, and confidence. Your personalized plan includes coach support by email to help you stay on track.
👉 Train smarter. Race stronger. Finish proud.
