Plan Description
The Half Distance Triathlon in Manta, Ecuador - Athletes will face a warm 1.9km ocean swim in 78°F (26°C) waters, a flat 90km bike ride on three laps of scenic coastal roads, and a 21km two-loop run through the heart of Manta’s vibrant streets. With tropical temperatures averaging 77°F (25°C) and minimal elevation gain, this event rewards well-prepared, pace-smart racing.
Designed specifically for competitive athletes over 40, this 24-week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan prepares you for the unique demands of Manta’s course—warm ocean water, high humidity, flat terrain, and sustained pacing efforts. The structured progression helps build your endurance, heat resilience, and mental readiness, especially important for athletes aiming to peak on race day.
✅ Course-Specific Endurance Development – Long swim sets mimic the ocean swim effort, while extended bike intervals and race-pace brick sessions build stamina for Manta’s fast, flat course.
✅ Heat and Humidity Adaptation – Training includes hydration and fueling strategies and pacing adjustments for tropical conditions.
✅ Strength and Mobility for Masters Athletes – Targeted strength work improves durability and reduces injury risk over months of training and racing.
✅ Structured Progression – A 3:1 build-to-recovery ratio allows for consistent gains without overtraining, vital for athletes balancing recovery with performance.
✅ Data-Driven Sessions – Each workout includes guidance by Rate of Perceived Effort (RPE), Heart Rate, and Power, supporting smart training and efficient effort management.
✅ Support You Can Count On – All athletes receive personalized coach email support to help adjust, troubleshoot, and stay accountable throughout your journey.
This isn’t just a training plan—it’s a proven system for Masters triathletes looking to train smarter and finish stronger. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply a strong performance on the Ecuadorian coast, this program provides the clarity and structure you need to race with confidence.
Start your journey today and prepare to meet race day with strength, strategy, and purpose.
