Designed specifically for Masters athletes, this plan respects your body’s unique needs while pushing you toward peak performance.
What You’ll Get from This 44-Week Plan
1. Progressive Base Training (12 Weeks):
You’ll start with 4 hours per week, building gradually up to 10.5 hours. This phase focuses on foundational endurance, improving swim technique, and developing general strength—perfect for athletes returning to training or starting fresh.
2. Focused Triathlon Preparation (32 Weeks):
Weekly training ramps from 8 to 12.5 hours, with sessions designed to simulate race-day demands:
Swim drills and video coaching to refine stroke efficiency and build open-water confidence.
Bike workouts including interval sessions and sustained tempo rides that match the rolling hills of Costanera road, helping you master pacing and power.
Brick sessions (bike-to-run workouts) to train your legs for the critical transition phase.
Run workouts combining endurance, tempo, and interval training to keep you strong and steady over the 21.1 km course.
3. Strength and Injury Prevention:
Specially tailored strength training routines protect joints and build muscular endurance critical for Masters athletes. This helps you train consistently, avoid common injuries, and maintain long-term fitness.
4. Intelligent Periodization with Recovery:
The plan follows a proven 3:1 build-to-recovery week model—three weeks of focused training followed by one week of active recovery—to ensure you progress without burnout.
5. Technology-Integrated Training:
Guided by heart rate, Rate of Perceived Effort (RPE), and power metrics, this plan is compatible with Garmin devices, smartwatches, and popular training platforms to keep every workout efficient and measurable.
