Plan Description
Designed for competitive Masters athletes over 40, this 24-week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan prepares you to excel on the spectacular yet challenging San Salvador course. From the crystal-clear swim in Lake Ilopango to the rolling bike leg along the Pan-American Highway and the hilly, energetic run through the heart of the city, every workout in this program is crafted to meet the course’s unique profile.
🏊 Swim Readiness – The plan’s progressive swim sessions build open-water confidence, stroke efficiency, and sustained endurance—perfect for the calm, one-lap 1.9 km start surrounded by volcanic cliffs.
🚴 Bike Power for Rolling Terrain – Two-loop rides on smooth but undulating roads demand strength and pacing control. This plan includes interval-based cycling workouts, and power-targeted long rides to match the 90 km bike leg’s steady climbs and highland panoramas.
🏃 Run Strength for Hills & Heat – The 21 km run through San Salvador blends urban vibrance with elevation changes. Run-specific hill repeats, brick sessions, and heat-acclimation strategies ensure you maintain form, speed, and stamina over two challenging laps.
