Plan Description
Train Smarter for the Half Distance Triathlon in Bahrain – Tailored for Masters Athletes 40+
This 44-week triathlon training plan is built specifically for athletes over 40, guiding you from base fitness to peak performance on race day. With a focus on smart training, injury prevention, and personalized support, this plan prepares you for every detail of the Bahrain course—from the warm waters off Reef Island to the high-energy loops through the Financial Harbour.
How This Plan Matches the Bahrain Course
🏊 Swim (1.9 km) – The “L”-shaped swim in 73°F (23°C) open water requires solid technique and confidence in ocean conditions. This plan includes video-supported drills to refine your stroke and weekly sessions to build open water endurance and sighting skills.
🚴 Bike (90 km) – Bahrain’s single-lap, fast and scenic bike course passes iconic landmarks like the World Trade Centre and Bahrain International Circuit. Our structured power- and heart rate-based rides develop speed and stamina for long, sustained efforts—perfect for this smooth, non-technical course.
🏃 Run (21.1 km) – With four loops between Reef Island and the Financial Harbour, the run demands smart pacing and mental strength. You'll build these skills through progressive brick workouts, tempo intervals, and race-specific simulations to thrive in the final stretch when it counts.
