Plan Description
If you’re a Masters athlete over 40 preparing for the Half Distance Triathlon in Wisconsin, this 36-week training plan is your roadmap to race-day success. With a challenging course featuring a 1.2-mile swim in Lake Monona, a 56-mile hilly ride through Madison’s countryside, and a 13.1-mile run through the heart of downtown Madison, smart preparation is essential—and that’s exactly what this plan delivers.
🎯 Why This Plan Works for the Wisconsin Half Distance Triathlon
This training plan is engineered for athletes who want to build endurance and speed while staying injury-free. The phased design ensures you're physically and mentally ready for Wisconsin’s demanding terrain and unique race features:
✅ Builds Swim Confidence in Open Water
Structured pool and open-water sessions improve pacing, sighting, and technique—perfect for navigating Lake Monona’s one-loop swim with a rolling start.
✅ Prepares You for Over 2,000 ft of Elevation Gain
Progressive cycling workouts and VO₂ max intervals develop climbing strength and endurance, ideal for tackling the hills of Madison’s countryside.
✅ Develops Strength for a Rolling Half Marathon Finish
Brick sessions and run-specific tempo work condition your legs for a strong, sustained effort through the rolling out-and-back run toward the Capitol finish line.
✅ Masters-Focused Strength Training
Targeted resistance workouts help preserve muscle mass, improve joint health, and build durability to handle the demands of long-course racing.
✅ 3:1 Periodized Structure
Every three weeks, a lower-volume recovery week promotes adaptation and helps reduce injury risk—especially important for athletes over 40.
✅ Heart Rate & Power-Based Guidance
Precision training using your metrics ensures you’re hitting the right effort zones every session—compatible with Garmin and other leading platforms.
⏱️ Time-Efficient & Effective
Starting at just 7.5 hours per week and peaking near 12, this plan delivers focused, high-quality sessions without overwhelming your schedule.
