Plan Description
Preparing for the Half Distance Triathlon Louisville means gearing up for a unique point-to-point river swim, a scenic yet demanding bike through Kentucky’s horse country, and a run that weaves through shaded parks and finishes in the heart of downtown. This 44-week triathlon training plan is purpose-built for Masters athletes 40+—whether you're returning to racing or starting your endurance journey, you’ll be ready for every challenge Louisville throws your way.
✅ Builds a Strong Aerobic Base
The first 12 weeks focus on gradually increasing your endurance—perfect for mastering the Ohio River’s 1.2-mile swim and developing the stamina needed for long-course racing.
✅ Swim-Specific Drills for Open Water Readiness
Video-guided swim drills and form-focused workouts help you build confidence and technique for the point-to-point river swim, where currents and navigation matter.
✅ Bike Endurance for Rolling Terrain
The 56-mile ride through Oldham County’s rolling hills demands sustained power and strategic pacing. This plan includes threshold intervals and long rides to prepare your legs for the single-loop course.
✅ Run Training That Matches the Course
Your 13.1-mile run in Louisville includes steady flats and gentle park inclines. Brick workouts and structured tempo runs prepare you to run strong off the bike—especially during the final miles through Cherokee Park and downtown.
✅ Masters-Focused Strength and Recovery
Injury prevention is built in. Strength training tailored for athletes 40+ helps you maintain mobility, reduce fatigue, and boost durability over 44 weeks.
✅ Smart Training Tools for Smarter Racing
Heart rate, power, and RPE-based guidance help you train within your optimal zones—improving efficiency, preventing burnout, and ensuring peak race readiness.
✅ Sustainable Periodization for Long-Term Gains
The 3:1 training rhythm (three weeks of build, one week of recovery) supports consistent progress without overtraining.
You’ll also get access to personalized email coaching support—so you're never training alone, even when the sessions get tough.
