If you're over 40 and dreaming of finishing your first Half Distance Triathlon, this plan is your roadmap. You don’t need a background in endurance sports—just the desire to grow, one step at a time. This 44-week triathlon training plan is built specifically for Masters athletes who are starting from scratch and want to cross the finish line strong, confident, and injury-free.

The Florida course—featuring a calm swim in Lake Eva, a mostly flat bike with rolling hills through Polk County, and a fast, flat run—is perfect for a first-timer. But training smart is key. That’s where this plan delivers.

✅ Start Slow, Build Smart
We begin with a 12-week base phase to ease you into training. Swim, bike, and run workouts grow gradually, so your body adapts without overload.

✅ Triathlon-Specific Focus
As you gain fitness, the next 32 weeks build race-specific strength and skill. You’ll do brick workouts to simulate transitions, interval training to build speed, and longer sessions that mimic race conditions—heat, pacing, and hydration included.

✅ B and C Races for Practice and Confidence
You’ll be guided through strategically placed “B” and “C” events—practice races that prepare you mentally and physically for your “A” race without pressure. These tune-up events are key for first-timers to gain confidence and learn race-day routines.

✅ Support for Masters Athletes
With built-in strength training, recovery weeks, and training targets based on RPE, heart rate, and power, the plan respects where you’re starting from—and where you want to go. It’s not just about finishing. It’s about finishing strong.

✅ Personal Email Coach Support
You’re not doing this alone. Have a question, a rough week, or just need motivation? You’ve got direct access to a coach who understands what it takes.

💬 You’ve got 44 weeks, a clear path, and a team behind you. Now all you need is the belief that you can do this—and you can.

Start your journey to the Florida Half Distance Triathlon finish line today—this is your time.
