Warm Caribbean waters, a rolling 90km bike course, tropical heat, and a fast but demanding 21km run require more than determination alone. Success comes from following a structured Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan designed to build endurance, durability, and race-specific fitness.
.
Created specifically for competitive athletes over 40, this 24-week program prepares you for the exact demands of racing a Half Distance Triathlon in Barranquilla, Colombia.
.
✅ The race begins with a 1.9km swim in water averaging 81°F (27°C). Video swim drills, technique-focused workouts, and structured swim progression improve efficiency, pacing, and confidence in open water conditions.
.
✅ The 90km ride along the Circunvalar de la Prosperidad rewards athletes with strong aerobic fitness and sustainable power. Heart rate, power, and RPE-based cycling workouts develop endurance, muscular strength, and pacing discipline needed for a successful bike split.
.
✅ With race day temperatures often reaching 92°F (34°C), heat becomes a significant performance factor. Progressive endurance training, long rides, long runs, and brick workouts help prepare your body to perform efficiently in warm conditions while managing fatigue.
.
✅The run course travels through the Gran Malecón del Río past landmarks including the Shakira Statue, Sofía Vergara Sculpture, Plaza de los Marinos, Shark Fin Monument, and Luna del Río. Structured run sessions improve running economy, durability, and pacing for a strong finish.
.
✅ Built Specifically for Masters Athletes
.
Training volume progresses from approximately 7.5 hours per week to 12.5 hours at peak volume. The proven 3:1 periodization structure balances fitness development with recovery, helping reduce injury risk while maximizing adaptation.
