Plan Description
With calm freshwater conditions in Lake Eva, flat and fast roads through Polk County, and a smooth half marathon through local neighborhoods, the Florida Half Distance Triathlon course demands strategic pacing, endurance, and heat management. This Masters-focused Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is built to prepare you for every challenge this race presents.
🔥 Here’s how the plan matches the course:
✅ Swim Preparation for Lake Eva
You’ll build stamina and refine technique with structured workouts and video drills—ideal for Lake Eva’s calm, 75–80°F waters. Focused intervals and technique work sharpen your efficiency, helping you exit the swim strong and fresh.
✅ Bike Conditioning for Florida Terrain
The 56-mile ride through mostly flat roads with gentle rollers calls for sustained speed and heat adaptation. The plan progressively develops your aerobic endurance, power output, and pacing control—so you’re prepared to handle Florida’s sun and subtle elevation changes.
✅ Run-Ready for a Fast, Flat Finish
The 13.1-mile run demands smart pacing and hydration strategy. This program builds resilience with long runs, tempo efforts, and brick workouts, so you can maintain speed through Lake Eva Park and the local neighborhoods—even in the heat.
✅ Masters-Specific Strength Training
Functional strength sessions improve durability and mobility—essential for reducing injury risk and staying strong across all three disciplines.
✅ Data-Driven Coaching Tools
Use Heart Rate, RPE, and Power to dial in effort and avoid burnout. You’ll train smarter, not just harder.
✅ 24 Weeks of Structured, Progressive Training
Built on a 3:1 periodization cycle, the plan increases volume from 7.5 to 12.5 hours/week, balancing performance gains with recovery.
✅ Personalized Email Coach Support
