Plan Description
Train Smart for the Oregon Half Distance Triathlon – Built for Masters 40+
The Oregon Half Distance Triathlon offers a rewarding yet demanding course—ideal for experienced athletes ready to perform. With a 1.2-mile downriver swim in the Willamette River, a 56-mile ride through gently rolling country roads, and a flat, fast 13.1-mile run along scenic river trails, this race demands efficiency, endurance, and smart pacing. Average water temps hover at a comfortable 65°F, while race-day air temperatures reach up to 80°F—factors that require strategic preparation.
This 36-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan is built specifically for Masters athletes over 40 and directly aligns with the course profile, terrain, and environmental conditions unique to Oregon.
✅ Swim-Ready Strength & Technique: Early-phase workouts focus on open-water skills, stroke efficiency, and endurance—critical for harnessing the downriver current and navigating buoy lines with confidence.
✅ Bike Power for Rolling Terrain: Targeted tempo rides and structured intervals prepare you for Oregon’s flat-to-rolling bike course, enabling sustained speed without overexertion.
✅ Run Efficiency in Warm Temps: Long runs, brick sessions, and heat-adaptive pacing strategies help you manage the 80°F average race temperature, optimizing performance on the flat, mixed-terrain run course.
✅ Masters-Focused Progression: Each workout is designed with recovery and joint health in mind, using a proven 3:1 load-to-recovery cycle to support muscle preservation and reduce injury risk.
✅ Integrated Brick & VO₂ Workouts: Build race-day durability and top-end fitness with sessions that mimic the swim-to-bike and bike-to-run transitions you'll face on race day.
✅ Smart Device-Compatible & Coach-Supported: Heart rate and power-based sessions sync seamlessly with your devices—and you’ll have access to personalized email support from a certified triathlon coach.
Whether you’re returning to the sport or stepping up in distance, this structured, phased training plan helps you build strength, stay injury-free, and arrive on race day ready to perform.
Get started today and train with purpose—so you can toe the start line in Oregon with confidence and clarity.
