Plan Description
Are you a competitive Masters athlete over 40 preparing for the Half Distance Michigan Triathlon? This 36-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan is expertly designed to guide you through every phase of your journey—from the calm, protected waters of Betsie Bay to the scenic bike route through Benzie County, and the energized, spectator-friendly run along the paved trails of Frankfort and Elberta.
🏊 Prepare for the 1.2-Mile Swim
Betsie Bay offers calm waters, but racing in open water still requires swim-specific endurance, form efficiency, and sighting practice. Our plan includes integrated swim sessions with video support so you can develop speed, stroke economy, and comfort in race conditions—crucial for a strong start to your Half Distance Triathlon.
🚴 Build Strength for the 56-Mile Bike
Rolling hills and flat sections along M-22 demand both sustained aerobic endurance and the ability to surge on inclines. Our heart rate and power-based cycling workouts simulate this terrain, helping you stay strong and steady throughout the course. Brick workouts further train your legs to transition smoothly into the run.
🏃 Nail the 13.1-Mile Run
The Michigan run course is fast and flat but mentally challenging due to its looping structure. We prepare you with tempo sessions, VO2 max intervals, and long race-pace efforts to improve pacing, mental stamina, and late-race resilience.
✅ Tailored for Masters 40+ Athletes
✔️ Periodized 3:1 training structure to support recovery and reduce injury risk
✔️ Strength training to preserve lean muscle and joint durability
✔️ Gradual build from 7.5 to 12 hours per week—ideal for busy professionals
✔️ Structured, data-driven workouts compatible with Garmin and other platforms
✔️ Personalized coach email support to keep you motivated and accountable
This is more than just a Half Distance Triathlon training plan—it's a blueprint for peak performance designed around the real-world needs of experienced athletes.
