Plan Description

Conquer the Brazos River, roll through Texas countryside, and race across Waco’s historic bridges with a training plan built for your success. This Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is specifically designed to prepare you for the unique demands of the Waco, Texas Half Distance Triathlon, especially if you're a competitive Masters athlete over 40 who have maintained their fitness and can finish an Olympic distance event.

The Waco course offers calm waters, open roads, and scenic riverside trails—this plan ensures you’re ready for every stroke, pedal, and stride.

✅ Tailored for Masters Athletes (40+) – The training load, recovery weeks, and strength work are optimized for endurance, resilience, and age-specific needs.
✅ Swim-Ready for the Brazos River – Structured sessions and video drills prepare you for the 1.2-mile downriver swim with open-water pacing and cold-water adaptation.
✅ Bike Strong on Rolling Hills – Power-based workouts develop sustained output and handling skills to help you crush the fast 56-mile loop through Texas terrain.
✅ Run Efficiently to the Waco Suspension Bridge – Long runs, brick sessions, and tempo intervals are strategically placed to simulate the demands of the 13.1-mile course.
✅ Periodization Built for Performance – A smart 3:1 structure (3 build weeks + 1 recovery) supports sustainable gains while minimizing injury risk.
✅ Heart Rate & Power Integration – Every session is guided by RPE, HR, or power so you train smarter, not harder.
✅ Strength for Longevity – Functional routines with demo videos focus on mobility, core stability, and joint health to keep you strong through training and race day.

This plan isn't just about completing the race—it’s about preparing you to perform your best when it matters most. From the opening swim start at Pecan Bottom Park to the final push across the Waco Suspension Bridge, every workout moves you closer to a confident, powerful race-day experience.

🌟 Bonus: Personalized Coach Support – You’ll have direct access to an experienced coach via email to ask questions, get feedback, and stay on track throughout your journey.

If you're serious about racing the Half Distance Triathlon in Waco, this is your roadmap. Train smart. Race strong.
