Plan Description
Racing the Middle Distance Triathlon in Montréal means combining speed, endurance, and precision across a fast, iconic course. This 24-week training plan is built for competitive Masters athletes over 40, preparing you to excel in every segment—from the calm, PB-friendly Olympic Basin swim to the high-speed laps of Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve and the flat, fast half-marathon finale on historic Olympic grounds.
Why This Plan Works for Montréal:
✅ Open-Water Swim Confidence – Specific swim sets mimic the 1.9 km rolling-start format, helping you find rhythm early and hold strong technique in calm but competitive conditions.
✅ Sustained Speed Cycling – Interval sessions replicate the demands of Montréal’s 21-lap F1 track, training you to maintain aero position and legal 12m draft spacing while holding consistent power.
✅ Flat Course Half-Marathon Prep – Run workouts target steady pacing and negative splits, ideal for the 4½-lap Olympic venue layout.
✅ Masters-Focused Strength & Mobility – Functional exercises keep you durable, powerful, and injury-resilient throughout training and racing.
✅ Data-Driven Progression – All sessions are guided by RPE, heart rate, and power metrics for precision and measurable gains.
