Plan Description
The Middle Distance Triathlon Taiwan offers a stunning yet demanding race with a 1.9 KM swim in calm Flowing Lake, a 90 KM bike along the scenic Pacific Coastal Highway, and a 21.1 KM run through urban and park trails. This 44-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan is crafted specifically for Masters athletes 40+, addressing your unique needs to prepare you fully for race day.
✅ Swim Training for Efficiency and Endurance
Starting with a 12-week base phase, the plan builds your swim fitness gradually while improving stroke technique through video-guided drills. This approach protects joints and supports muscle balance, ideal for the calm, freshwater swim conditions of Flowing Lake.
✅ Bike Workouts for Strength and Steady Power
The 90 KM bike course requires strength and pacing control. Structured interval sessions focus on building power and cadence while respecting recovery, helping you handle the rolling terrain and coastal winds with confidence.
✅ Joint-Friendly Run Progression
The two-lap, 21.1 KM run combines paved roads and shaded park trails. The plan incorporates brick workouts and a 3:1 training-to-rest week cycle, promoting endurance and protecting joints—key for longevity and strong performance.
✅ Masters-Focused Strength and Injury Prevention
Targeted strength exercises improve muscular endurance and reduce injury risk, addressing age-related challenges such as slower recovery and muscle loss. This keeps you resilient throughout the training.
✅ Data-Driven and Device-Compatible
Workouts are guided by heart rate, power, and Rate of Perceived Effort (RPE) zones to maximize training efficiency. Fully compatible with Garmin and smartwatches, the plan offers precise, personalized feedback.
