Plan Description
Prepare for race day with a course-specific training plan designed for triathletes over 40—athletes who train with purpose, value smart recovery, and want to perform at their best without burning out.
✅ Swim Strong in Lewisville Lake
Build open-water endurance for the 1.2-mile swim with focused sets, open-water simulations, and stroke refinement for shoulder-friendly efficiency. Cooler March temps and wetsuit conditions are built into your plan.
✅ Bike with Power and Control
Ride 56 miles on smooth, rolling Texas roads with strength and confidence. Your plan includes aerobic intervals, tempo rides, and threshold efforts to improve muscular endurance without overloading aging joints.
✅ Run Smart on the 3-Loop Course
Train for the 13.1-mile run with long runs, brick sessions, and terrain-specific workouts. Gravel trails and loops require focus and pacing—your plan prepares you mentally and physically for the challenge.
✅ Recovery-Driven Progress
A 3:1 training rhythm helps you build fitness without burnout. Weekly volume ranges from 9.5 to 14 hours, with intensity scaled for durability, not depletion.
✅ All Energy Systems Trained Intentionally
This plan trains what matters most for Masters athletes:
💨 VO₂ Max intervals
💪 Strength & mobility
🧠 Mental focus
🔋 Sprint power development
✅ Test Races Included
Practice pacing and build confidence with optional “C” and “B” races. These tune-ups fit your long-term performance goals, not just short-term results.
