You already know the commitment it takes to race at the Half Distance Triathlon level—but San Salvador offers a course that rewards preparation at the highest level. The race begins with a 1.9 km swim in the clear waters of Lake Ilopango, framed by volcanic cliffs. From there, the rolling 90 km bike course along the Pan-American Highway calls for sustained power and smart pacing. The day ends with a challenging 21 km run through the heart of the city—two hilly laps surrounded by energy, history, and the roar of the crowd.

This 36-week Masters-focused training plan is engineered to give experienced athletes over 40 the edge they need—not just to complete the race, but to perform at their peak.

✅ Swim Efficiency & Confidence – Advanced open-water sessions, pacing strategies, and stroke refinement help you glide through Lake Ilopango’s single lap with energy to spare.

✅ Bike Strength for Sustained Power – Targeted power intervals, long tempo rides, and hill-specific work replicate the steady climbs and fast descents of the Pan-American Highway.

✅ Run Durability on Hills – Progressive hill training, brick sessions, and race-pace runs prepare your legs for the urban grind so you finish strong without fading.

✅ Masters Athlete Optimization – 3:1 training/recovery rhythm, joint-preserving strength training, mobility work, and strategic intensity—proven to deliver gains for athletes over 40.

✅ Race-Day Execution – High-intensity VO2 max sets, fueling strategies, and race simulations ensure you hit your goal pace when it matters most.

Starting at 7.5 hours per week and peaking at 12, this plan balances precision, intensity, and recovery—perfect for busy, driven athletes who demand results from every workout. Fully compatible with Garmin and other platforms, it includes heart rate and power-based sessions, integrated swim video support, and a clear progression from base building to peak performance.
