Plan Description
The Half Distance Triathlon in Western Sydney isn’t just a test of fitness—it’s a test of how well you’ve trained with purpose. For the competitive Masters triathlete over 40, success on race day starts with a plan that understands your physiology, respects your time, and aligns with your goals. This 24-week program does exactly that.
🧠 Why This Plan Works—for You
This is not a generic “one-size-fits-all” routine. It's progression built on what mature athletes need most: smart volume, targeted intensity, and deliberate recovery. With experience comes the awareness that more isn’t always better—better is better.
You’re not just training to finish—you’re training to perform on Western Sydney’s Olympic-grade course. From the sheltered, wetsuit-legal swim in Penrith Lake to the fast, technical bike laps and spectator-lined final run, this plan builds the specific skills and physiological systems you’ll need on race day.
✅ Base Fitness Required Before Starting
This plan assumes you already maintain a foundational level of fitness. You should comfortably be able to:
🏊 Swim: 1,500 meters continuously
🚴 Bike: 30 miles at a moderate pace
🏃 Run: 5 miles without excessive fatigue
If you meet these benchmarks, you’re ready to start training with precision.
🛠️ What You’ll Gain
✅ Structured, Periodized Workouts
Built on a 3:1 cycle of progressive loading and recovery—perfect for reducing injury risk while maximizing adaptation.
✅ Masters-Specific Strength Training
Enhance mobility, core stability, and joint resilience with functional routines designed for aging athletes.
✅ Swim, Bike & Run Sessions Using RPE, HR, and Power
No guesswork—just measurable progress across every discipline.
✅ Race-Specific Preparation
Sessions that mirror the course demands: open water simulation, tempo efforts for long flats, and pacing strategy for multi-lap fatigue on the run.
✅ Data-Driven, Coach-Backed Guidance
Every session has purpose—and your questions are answered with personalized email support from an expert coach.
💡 Bottom Line: Train Smarter, Not Harder
At 40+, you don’t have time to waste on junk miles, random YouTube workouts, or cookie-cutter plans. You need training that respects your experience, manages fatigue, and prepares you to peak—mentally and physically—at the Half Distance Triathlon in Western Sydney.
