Plan Description
The Half Distance Triathlon Maine features a unique blend of course elements that require targeted preparation: a fast, current-assisted 1.2-mile river swim, a challenging 56-mile bike through the hilly Kennebec River Valley, and a flat-to-rolling 13.1-mile run along shaded riverside paths. This 36-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan is built specifically to meet those demands—designed for experienced athletes over 40 who want to train smarter, stay injury-free, and race with confidence.
✅ Phase-Based Structure for Maine’s Terrain
The Base Phase (12 weeks) rebuilds aerobic capacity and foundational strength—ideal for tackling the 3,000+ feet of bike elevation and sustained pacing on race day. The Build & Peak Phase (24 weeks) introduces race-specific workouts like long hill repeats and descending sets to prepare for Maine’s terrain and fast swim.
✅ Swim-Ready Prep for River Currents
Progressive swim sessions improve open-water technique and pacing. Focused drills and video support help you adapt to current-assisted conditions and prepare for fast transitions from swim to bike.
✅ Bike-Specific Strength & Power
Structured tempo rides and VO2 max intervals simulate the rolling bike course, helping you build leg strength for climbs and control for fast descents—without overloading your joints.
✅ Race-Day Run Simulation
Brick workouts and long runs on rolling terrain train your legs to run efficiently off the bike, mimicking the final miles through Hallowell and Augusta’s shaded paths.
✅ Built for Masters Athletes
Heart rate and power-based sessions, a 3:1 recovery structure, and Masters-focused strength training are integrated throughout. This supports muscle preservation and reduces injury risk for athletes over 40.
🌤️ Adapted to Race-Day Conditions
Workouts align with Maine’s typical race conditions (69°F water, 75°F air), so you're physiologically prepared for temperature, pacing, and performance.
➡️ Train with Confidence and Support
This Half Distance Triathlon training plan includes personal email coach support to guide you through every phase. Whether you're aiming to finish strong or set a new PR, this structured program gives you the tools to succeed.
Start your structured training today and build toward your strongest Half Distance Triathlon performance in Maine.
