Plan Description
Are you an experienced triathlete aiming for victory in the Full Distance Triathlon South Africa? The Competitive Masters 44-Week Full Distance Triathlon Training Plan is specifically crafted for athletes who are focused on peak performance—whether you're striving for a personal best or eyeing a podium finish.
This structured, data-driven program is perfect for athletes at any level. Even if you’ve been away from training for a while, this plan requires no prior base mileage and systematically builds endurance, strength, and speed.
