Plan Description
Train Smart for Ohio’s Unique Course – 36-Week Half Distance Triathlon Plan for Masters 40+
The Half Distance Triathlon Ohio features a one-of-a-kind course—starting with a rolling swim entry from the Kelleys Island Ferry into the warm waters of Sandusky Bay (avg. 78°F), followed by a flat and fast 56-mile bike through open farmland with just 790 feet of elevation, and finishing with a spectator-friendly, two-loop run through downtown Sandusky (avg. 88°F).
Our 36-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan is purpose-built for experienced Masters athletes over 40 who are preparing for this exact course profile and climate. With a phased and data-driven structure, this plan helps you build the endurance, strength, and pacing discipline required for success in Ohio’s flat terrain and summer heat.
🎯 What This Plan Delivers:
Base Phase (12 weeks): Rebuilds aerobic fitness, develops functional strength, and reintroduces structure—perfect if you're returning after a break.
Build + Peak Phase (24 weeks): Increases training specificity with power-based bike intervals, open-water swim sessions, and brick workouts that simulate race-day demands.
🔑 Designed for Masters Athletes:
Heart Rate & Power-Based Workouts: Sync with Garmin and leading training platforms.
3:1 Training Cycle: Periodized to balance performance gains with recovery and injury prevention.
Masters-Specific Strength Training 💪: Maintains lean mass and improves running durability—critical for flat, warm courses like Ohio.
Race-Specific Conditioning: Long bike efforts simulate the sustained power needed for the flat 56-mile ride, while heat-adapted run sessions prepare you for the 88°F average on race day.
Integrated Brick Workouts & VO₂ Max Sessions: Train your body to transition and sustain pace under race stress.
