Plan Description
The 36-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan for Masters athletes over 40 is built specifically to prepare you for the demands of the Half Distance Triathlon Calgary. This structured, science-backed program gradually builds endurance, strength, and speed while respecting recovery needs unique to athletes in this age group.
✅ Base Phase (12 Weeks) builds aerobic capacity and muscular endurance—critical for managing the swim’s two-loop format and preparing for long rides with variable elevation.
✅ Build & Peak Phase (24 Weeks) introduces race-specific sessions, including brick workouts and tempo intervals to simulate the Calgary course’s rolling bike terrain and multi-loop run.
✅ Swim workouts include open-water prep and video-supported drills, ideal for athletes adjusting to lake conditions and mid-swim exits.
✅ Power-based bike training improves your ability to sustain effort across Calgary’s exposed and potentially windy roads.
✅ Run sessions are structured with loops and out-and-backs, echoing the course design and helping refine pacing for sustained efforts.
✅ Masters-focused strength work enhances resilience and supports injury prevention as you increase weekly volume.
✅ 3:1 load/recovery periodization helps ensure consistent progress while minimizing fatigue.
Weekly volume ranges from 7.5 to 12 hours, making this plan time-efficient without sacrificing training quality. Whether you’re returning after a break or aiming to improve at the Half Distance Triathlon level, this plan provides a step-by-step path to race readiness.
