Plan Description
The Half Distance Michigan Triathlon offers a unique mix of calm waters, scenic bike routes, and a vibrant run course—all ideal for athletes seeking a memorable challenge. But to thrive on race day, you need more than just motivation—you need a plan built for your goals, your schedule, and your body.
Our Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan, designed specifically for competitive Masters athletes over 40, prepares you to excel on this course through structured, science-backed progression. Whether you're racing to set a personal best or aiming to place in your age group, this plan is your roadmap to success. Before beginning be sure to have a solid base of training as you'll encounter a V02 Interval session in week one.
🏊 Why This Plan Works for the Michigan Course
✅ Betsie Bay Swim Preparation
Start strong in Michigan’s calm, protected bay. Our plan includes video-based swim drills and interval-based endurance sets to improve technique and pacing, ensuring you stay efficient and composed in open water.
✅ Train for the M-22 Bike Terrain
With its rolling hills and flat stretches, the bike course rewards riders who can hold steady power over long distances. You'll build this with power- and heart-rate-based rides that mirror race-day demands, especially across back-to-back long weekend sessions.
✅ Run Strong Through Frankfort and Elberta
Two out-and-back loops on paved trails require mental focus and physical resilience. Our plan progresses from aerobic runs to threshold and tempo sessions, helping you stay consistent and composed—even in the final miles.
💪 Key Features Built for Masters Athletes
✔️ 3:1 Periodization – Balance progress with recovery to avoid injury
✔️ Strength Training – Mobility and stability work tailored to aging bodies
✔️ Smart Endurance Build – Gradual intensity increase, leading to peak performance
✔️ Integrated RPE, Heart Rate & Power Zones – Train smarter, not harder
✔️ Auto-synced workouts – Seamless scheduling with smart devices
If you can swim 1,500 meters, bike 30 miles, and run 5 miles without strain, you’re ready to take the next step toward the Half Distance format—and this plan gets you there with confidence.
🎯 Train with Purpose. Race with Power.
This isn’t just a workout schedule—it’s a full system designed to help you thrive as a Masters triathlete. With personalized coach support via email, you’ll never train alone. Let’s make your Half Distance Triathlon in Michigan your best race yet.
