Plan Description

This 36-week Triathlon Training Plan—designed specifically for Masters athletes over 40—is the ideal path to peak performance on this iconic course. From the protected swim in Ribeira Beach to the demanding bike through Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, and the rolling run along the coast to Cabo Raso, every workout in this plan is built to match the race-day demands of Cascais.

✅ 12-Week Base Phase – Perfect if you’re returning from a break or stepping up in distance. Rebuild aerobic endurance, mobility, and strength with no prior conditioning required.
✅ 24-Week Build & Peak Phase – Dive into race-specific workouts: long rides that mimic the hills of Guincho Beach and the Estoril F1 Circuit, coastal run efforts that mirror the rolling terrain to Cabo Raso, and swim sets that simulate ocean conditions.
✅ Masters-Specific Strength Workouts – Boost durability, preserve lean muscle, and power through the late stages of your Half Distance Triathlon.
✅ Heart Rate & Power-Based Training – Data-driven sessions compatible with Garmin and other platforms ensure you’re training smart—not just hard.
✅ Integrated Swim Sessions with Video Guidance – Stay on track without needing paper workouts or printed plans.
✅ Brick Workouts & VO2 Max Intervals – Improve your ability to transition smoothly and perform at your best across all three disciplines.
✅ 3:1 Periodization – Promote adaptation and reduce injury risk with recovery built into every training cycle.

📈 Train for the course. Race with confidence. Whether it’s the excitement of the Estoril racetrack or the challenge of the Atlantic breeze along the coast, this plan prepares you physically and mentally for what lies ahead in Cascais.

🔔 Your race is personal. Your training should be too. Every athlete gets personalized coach support via email—because expert guidance makes the difference between finishing and excelling.

👉 Start your journey toward a breakthrough performance at the Half Distance Triathlon Cascais Portugal. Join the training plan built for experienced athletes like you, and race with purpose, power, and confidence.
