Prepare for the Full Distance Triathlon in The Woodlands, Texas, with a proven 36-week training plan designed for competitive Masters athletes (ages 40+). This comprehensive, evidence-based program is optimized to maximize your endurance, speed, and performance while reducing the risk of overtraining, so you can race confidently at the North American Championship.

Why This Program Stands Out
✔ Progressive Adaptation Framework – This plan begins with 12 weeks of foundational endurance training, building a solid aerobic base. It then transitions to 24 weeks focused on race-specific performance, so you're always progressing toward peak fitness.

✔ Precision Training Methodology – Using metrics like max heart rate (MHR), functional threshold power (FTP), and rate of perceived exertion (RPE), your training is tailored to improve your efficiency across swim, bike, and run. Integrating seamlessly with Garmin and endurance analytics platforms, you’ll receive the feedback necessary to fine-tune your efforts.

✔ Evidence-Based Periodization – Our 3:1 training model focuses on progressive overload for three weeks, followed by one week of active recovery. This approach optimizes adaptations and ensures you're ready to race your best on event day.

36-Week Periodized Training Structure
Phase 1: Foundational Endurance & Neuromuscular Priming (12 Weeks)
✅ Build aerobic capacity and enhance efficiency in energy production.
✅ Refine swim technique with specialized drills focused on biomechanics.
✅ Begin VO2 max intervals for cardiovascular adaptation.

Phase 2: Race-Specific Performance Development (24 Weeks)
✅ Increase endurance with extended cycling, tempo runs, and open-water swims.
✅ Incorporate anaerobic threshold and VO2 max intervals to boost lactate clearance.
✅ Peak training load reaches 16 hours per week, utilizing a polarized approach for maximum performance.

Performance Optimization Strategies
✔ Swim Biomechanics Refinement – Improve stroke symmetry and efficiency for a faster swim.
✔ Data-Driven Bike & Run Workouts – Tailored to optimize power-to-weight ratios and heart rate variability (HRV).
✔ Strength Training – Focus on durability and efficiency with periodized strength training.
✔ Adaptive Swim Workouts – Integrated with wearable technology for real-time feedback.

This plan leverages cutting-edge periodization, advanced training tools, and scientifically backed methods to prepare you for success. Get this plan today!
