Plan Description
As Master triathlete over 40, you already know: fitness alone doesn’t equal performance. At this level, it’s not just about finishing—it’s about executing with precision, preserving strength, and peaking at the right time. The Western Sydney Half Distance Triathlon is no ordinary race. With a calm swim, a deceptively fast bike course with technical elements, and a multi-lap run under the heat and mental pressure of spectators, this event demands more than generic training.
That’s why this 36-week Half Distance Triathlon Masters 40+ Training Plan exists—not to make you “fitter,” but to make you smarter, stronger, and more prepared.
🔍 Why This Plan Works—Specifically for Masters Athletes:
✅ Built Around How You Actually Recover
We use a 3:1 periodized structure—three weeks of building, one week of adaptation—to prevent injury and burnout. Because what worked in your 30s won’t necessarily work now.
✅ Heart Rate & Power-Based Training
You get targeted, efficient sessions that reflect your current capacity—not guesswork. Every session has purpose.
✅ Race-Specific Preparation for Western Sydney
🏊 Open water confidence: Interval-based swim sets prepare you for the flat but strategic Regatta Centre course.
🚴 Strength + handling: Workouts simulate long flats with power surges, plus technical U-turns like those on Castlereagh Road.
🏃 Brick intensity: Designed to simulate the fatigue of the final laps and help you negative split the run—especially under stadium pressure.
✅ Strength Training That Actually Matters
You're not chasing aesthetics—you need muscle preservation, joint support, and posture alignment. This plan includes exactly that, tailored for 40+ physiology.
✅ Efficient Time Use
Starting at 7.5 hours/week, peaking around 12, this plan respects your limited time while maximizing training effect.
💬 Ask Yourself:
Are you still relying on recycled training methods from a decade ago?
Are your long sessions “just long,” or are they building purposefully toward this specific course?
Is your recovery an afterthought—or baked into your plan?
This isn’t about training harder. It’s about training right. With a course like Western Sydney’s Half Distance Triathlon, mistakes in pacing, fueling, or prep will cost you. This plan anticipates them—so you don’t have to react on race day.
🎯 Train with intention. Race with control. Perform with confidence.
