This 44-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan is designed specifically for Masters athletes aged 40+ who are preparing for the demanding terrain and ocean conditions of the Mossel Bay Half Distance Triathlon. From the chilly 1.9km sea swim to the hilly 90km bike with over 1,000m of elevation, to the scenic but undulating 21.1km run—this race requires more than fitness. It demands a smart, progressive approach tailored to the course.

Here’s how this plan prepares you to meet the challenge:

✅ Sea Swim Readiness
Build open water confidence and stamina with progressive swim workouts—including technique-focused sessions and strategic pacing—ideal for race day’s rolling start and ocean conditions.

✅ Conquer the Hills
With over 3,300 ft of elevation on the bike, you'll need power and resilience. This plan includes targeted strength training and structured hill workouts to help you climb strong and descend with control.

✅ Run with Strength
The three-lap, coastal run course is undulating and exposed. You'll be prepared with long bricks, tempo sessions, and interval training designed to teach your body to run well on tired legs.

✅ Targeted “B” and “C” Race Simulations
These race simulations give you real-time feedback on transitions, fueling, pacing, and gear—so there are no surprises on race day.

✅ Masters-Specific Strength & Recovery
Injury prevention is baked in. Mobility work, functional strength sessions, and smart periodization (3 weeks build, 1 week recovery) are tailored for the over-40 athlete.

✅ Smart Training with Metrics
Every session includes guidance based on Rate of Perceived Effort (RPE), heart rate, or power—and is fully compatible with Garmin and other devices.

✅ Swim Video Drills & Coach Support
Get stroke-improvement drills and personalized email coach support throughout your journey—because you're not in this alone.

You’re not just training. You’re preparing to race Mossel Bay’s Half Distance Triathlon with confidence and strength. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all template—it’s a science-backed, age-aware program designed to get results for athletes like you.
