Plan Description

If you’re a dedicated Masters triathlete over 40, the Half Distance Triathlon in Emilia-Romagna isn’t just another race—it’s your opportunity to race through history, ride past flamingos, and finish strong on the storied streets of Cervia. And to get there, you need a training plan designed for you—not a generic template built for younger athletes with unlimited recovery.

🎯 This 24-week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is engineered for experienced athletes 40+ who are ready to race smarter, stronger, and longer. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or aiming to finish with pride, this plan respects your experience, honors your time, and prepares your body to thrive on race day.

But here’s the truth: success on race day starts long before the first mile of the plan.
🏗️ You need a solid aerobic base before beginning. If you're not yet swimming 1,500m, biking 30 miles, or running 5 miles comfortably, take time to build your foundation. Your longevity and success in the sport depend on it.

Once your base is set—this plan will take you the rest of the way.

✨ What Makes This Plan Ideal for Masters Triathletes 40+

✅ Thoughtful Periodization (3:1 Build-to-Recovery)
Maximize gains while reducing injury risk with cycles designed for optimal adaptation.

✅ Masters-Focused Strength & Mobility Workouts
Stay injury-free and powerful with functional training tailored to aging athletes.

✅ Endurance to Speed Progression
Build deep aerobic fitness before shifting to focused speed and threshold work—just when your body is ready.

✅ Structured Workouts with RPE, HR, and Power Targets
Train with purpose using smart metrics that guide your swim, bike, and run sessions.

✅ Technique & Recovery Tools
🏊‍♂️ Video Swim Drills to refine form
💪 Strength Demo Videos* focused on durability
📲 Auto-synced workouts for training device integration

This isn’t just a schedule—it’s a performance system designed around the physiology and mindset of the over-40 triathlete.

🌟 You’ve earned the wisdom. Now build the power.

With personalized email coach support, you’ll never be left guessing. Ask questions, adjust as needed, and train with the confidence that every session is moving you toward your peak.

👉 The beaches of Cervia are calling. Let’s train like it matters—because it does. Start your Half Distance Triathlon journey today, and arrive in Italy ready to race your best.
