Plan Description
This 36-week Full Distance Triathlon training plan is built specifically for competitive Masters athletes (age 40+) preparing for the challenging Full Distanced Triathlon Leeds course. With 3.8 km of open water swimming, 180 km of undulating terrain with 2,574 m of climbing, and a marathon through Roundhay Park, this course demands a strategic and science-backed approach to training.
Our evidence-based program focuses on maximizing your endurance, efficiency, and confidence—while minimizing injury risk—by aligning directly with the physiological and topographical demands of the Full Distance Triathlon Leeds.
🏁 How This Plan Prepares You for Leeds:
✅ Swim-Specific Conditioning – Weekly open-water simulation sets and stroke-efficiency drills prepare you for the two-lap swim in calm Waterloo Lake, without the need for a mid-course exit.
✅ Bike Course Adaptation – Structured long rides with sustained tempo efforts and climbs mirror the three-lap bike course north of Leeds, including elevation challenges like Black Hill Road.
✅ Run Course Simulation – Three weekly run sessions include track sessions, and marathon-paced segments to reflect the four-lap, 455 m elevation gain run through Roundhay Park and Millennium Square.
📊 Why This Plan Works:
✔ Progressive Periodization – A 3:1 training cycle balances overload and recovery, building fitness without burnout.
✔ Smart Performance Tools – Integrates with Garmin, Wahoo, and smart-device based platforms for tailored insights.
✔ Precision Metrics – Uses max heart rate (MHR), functional threshold power (FTP), and RPE to target your personal physiological zones.
✔ Swim Mechanics Focus – Improve catch phase efficiency and bilateral breathing for long-course sustainability.
✔ Resilience-Driven Strength Workouts – Develop the durability needed to absorb impact over 140.6 miles.
