✅ Purpose-Built for Masters Athletes
Designed with your age and experience in mind, this program balances intensity and recovery to enhance performance while minimizing injury risk.
✅ Smart Periodization
Follow a 3:1 structure—three progressive build weeks followed by one recovery week—to allow your body time to adapt and grow stronger, especially important for athletes over 40.
✅ Swim Strong in the Columbia River
With average temps of 68°F, the point-to-point downstream swim is fast—but only if you're prepared. Expert video drills and focused swim workouts help you perfect form and pacing.
🚴 Conquer the Eastern Washington Bike Course
Rolling terrain and 1,800 feet of gain require strength, pacing, and power. Our workouts target endurance first, then build toward threshold and VO₂ max efforts to handle every climb and descent.

On the flat, riverfront trails of the Tri-Cities, smart pacing and aerobic efficiency matter. This plan improves your stamina and run economy to help you finish strong.
✅ Integrated Strength Training
Functional strength workouts (with demo videos*) are built into your week to boost durability, mobility, and long-term performance—essential for Masters athletes.
