The sheltered fjord swim, rolling countryside bike, and fast city-center run of the Sandefjord, Norway Middle Distance Triathlon demand more than generic preparation. This 36-week plan is purpose-built for competitive Masters athletes over 40, ensuring you arrive at the start line with the endurance, strength, and speed needed for this unique course.

How this plan prepares you for Sandefjord:
✔ Swim-Ready for the Fjord: Targeted open-water swim sessions prepare you for the 1.9km course, including pacing control for the rolling start and the Australian exit between laps. Drills improve sighting, efficiency, and adaptation to expected 18–20°C temperatures.
✔ Bike Strength for Rolling Terrain: Structured power-based bike workouts replicate the two-lap, 90km route’s combination of curves, long flats, and steady climbs like Døla Hill—training you to maintain speed while managing effort over varying terrain.
✔ Run Durability for a Fast Finish: Four-lap, 21.1km city-center simulations prepare you for maintaining pace through repetitive turns and aid stations, finishing strong in the iconic city park at the Whalers’ Monument.
✔ Masters-Specific Recovery: The proven 3:1 load-to-recovery cycle reduces injury risk while enhancing adaptation for athletes over 40.
✔ Race-Pace Execution: Brick sessions combine bike and run training to simulate the transition from the rolling countryside into the flat, fast run course.
✔ Strength & Mobility Work: Focused sessions support joint health, muscle preservation, and sustained power output over the race distance.
