Plan Description

The Half Distance Triathlon in Augusta, Georgia challenges you with a 1.2-mile current-assisted swim in the Savannah River, a demanding 56-mile bike course with nearly 2,000 feet of climbing, and a 13.1-mile run featuring shaded, rolling terrain. Excelling here requires a training plan designed for endurance, power, and efficient recovery—especially for Masters athletes.

This 36-week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is specifically engineered for competitive athletes aged 40+, blending progressive periodization, targeted strength training, and sport-specific sessions to optimize your performance.

✔️ How This Plan Prepares You for Augusta’s Demands:
✅ Swim Efficiency & Endurance
Progressive swim workouts focus on stroke mechanics, aerobic threshold, and open-water skills, including pacing for a current-assisted course. Video-supported drills help refine technique and reduce fatigue.

✅ Bike Power & Climbing Strength
The plan includes threshold intervals and sustained power efforts to boost climbing capacity and aerobic efficiency. Masters-specific strength training preserves muscle mass and improves pedal stroke economy, critical for Augusta’s rolling hills.

✅ Run Durability & Heat Adaptation
Structured brick workouts and tempo runs develop lactate threshold and muscular endurance, preparing you to handle the shaded but undulating 13.1-mile course under warm conditions.

✅ Periodized Load & Recovery
Following a 3:1 work-to-rest ratio, the plan carefully balances intensity and recovery, minimizing injury risk and optimizing adaptation for athletes over 40.

✅ Race Simulation & Transition Practice
Incorporated brick sessions and VO2 max intervals prepare you physically and mentally for race pace and smooth swim-to-bike and bike-to-run transitions.

✅ Seamless Integration
Compatible with Garmin, TrainingPeaks, and other platforms, the plan uses heart rate and power zones to maximize training precision.

🏃‍♂️ Base Training Requirements
Starting at 7.5 hours per week, the plan builds to a peak of 12 hours, ideal for athletes returning from a break or moving up from shorter distances.
