Plan Description
Get ready to take on the Full Distance Triathlon New Zealand with a purpose-built, six-month training plan designed for competitive Masters athletes (40+).
Why This Plan Works
Tailored for Masters Athletes (40+)
Specifically crafted for experienced triathletes, this program focuses on building durability, strength, and race-day confidence.
Progressive, Structured Training
Follows a proven 3:1 cycle—three weeks of progressive overload followed by one week of recovery—to maximize gains and prevent burnout.
Data-Driven Workouts
Every session uses heart rate, power zones, or RPE to ensure precision and effectiveness.
Fully Syncable
Workouts can be synced to Garmin and compatible devices—ditch the spreadsheets and train smarter.
