Plan Description
Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan for Maine – Tailored for Masters Athletes 40+
Preparing for the Half Distance Triathlon Maine means getting ready for a fast river swim, a hilly bike ride through the Kennebec River Valley, and a flat-to-rolling run along shaded paths. This 44-week triathlon training plan is designed specifically for athletes over 40 and aligns closely with the course’s unique terrain, demands, and typical race-day weather.
🏊 Swim Preparation for Maine’s Current-Assisted Course
The plan’s early focus on swim technique and endurance prepares you for the 1.2-mile point-to-point river swim. With stroke drills and pacing intervals, you'll build efficiency to take advantage of the current while reducing early-race fatigue.
🚴 Bike Training for Elevation and Endurance
With over 3,000 feet of climbing, Maine’s 56-mile bike course requires strength, endurance, and smart pacing. The plan includes weekly long rides, interval repeats, and structured tempo efforts to help you handle sustained climbs and recover on descents. Brick sessions simulate race-day transitions and build muscular endurance for the run.
🏃 Run Conditioning for Mixed Terrain
The 13.1-mile course features mostly flat to gently rolling terrain along the Kennebec River. You’ll train with tempo runs, progression workouts, and strength-focused intervals to maintain pace under fatigue. Shaded and scenic, the course favors those who train consistently and adapt to variable terrain.
🌤️ Race-Ready for Maine’s Weather
With average race-day temperatures around 75°F (24°C), the plan includes workouts in variable conditions and guidance on hydration and pacing, helping you stay composed and resilient in warmer weather.
