The Middle Distance Triathlon in Turku, Finland delivers a fast-paced, spectator-filled race experience right in the heart of the city. This six-month, 24-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan is built specifically for competitive Masters athletes over 40, targeting the unique demands of Turku’s course while maximizing endurance, speed, and race-day execution.

How This Plan Prepares You for Turku:
🏊 Swim (1.9 km in the Aura River) – Progressive open-water swim sessions, sighting drills, and pacing strategies prepare you for the rolling start, upstream section, and downstream speed boost. Training includes simulated current resistance and technique-focused intervals for efficiency in flat-water river conditions.

🚴 Bike (90 km, 3-loop highway course) – Long rides, tempo intervals, and power-based training mirror the sustained effort needed for the E18 highway sections. The plan’s aerodynamic positioning and cadence work ensure you can maintain speed in the open countryside while staying strong for the final loop.

🏃 Run (21.1 km, 4-lap riverbank route) – Brick sessions and threshold runs prepare you for the repetitive lap format and spectator energy. The plan’s pacing strategies help you handle the mental challenge of multi-loop racing while keeping your stride smooth through the final kilometers.
