Plan Description

As a dedicated triathlete over 40, you know that success at the Full Distance Triathlon Calella-Barcelona isnโ€™t just about logging hoursโ€”itโ€™s about training with purpose. This elite 36-week triathlon training plan is built specifically for Masters athletes (age 40+), with science-backed strategies to enhance endurance, preserve recovery, and elevate performance.

With a 3.8 km swim in the warm Mediterranean, a fast 180.2 km bike course along the coastline to Badalona, and a flat, energetic 42.2 km run between Calella and Pineda de Mar, this race is made for speed. Your training should be too.

๐Ÿ‘Š Tailored for Masters 40+ Triathletes
โœ… Adaptation-Focused Design
โœ” Recognizes age-related changes in recovery, hormonal balance, and connective tissue resilience
โœ” Integrates recovery-enhancing protocols to prevent injury and overtraining
โœ” Strengthens neuromuscular efficiency to maintain speed and power as you age

๐ŸŠ SWIM: Mediterranean Loop (3.8 km)
โœ” Stroke mechanics and proprioceptive drills fine-tuned for efficiency, not just volume
โœ” Open-water sessions that simulate race-day pacing and positioning
โœ” Aerobic swim sets balanced with joint-friendly strength work

๐Ÿšด BIKE: Fast 180.2 km Coastal Course
โœ” Power-based intervals that target age-optimized FTP gains
โœ” Low-impact endurance rides that respect joint wear and promote adaptation
โœ” Data-driven workouts guided by HRV, critical power, and recovery metrics

๐Ÿƒ RUN: Flat 42.2 km Marathon
โœ” Run durability built through periodized strength, tendon resilience, and eccentric load work
โœ” Tempo and marathon-pace sets that protect against muscle breakdown
โœ” Strategic deload weeks to promote long-term consistency

๐Ÿ”‘ Why This Plan Works for Masters Athletes
โœ… Progressive 36-Week Structure โ€“ 12-week base, 24-week race build
โœ… Personalized Intensity Zones โ€“ Calibrated via HR, FTP, and RPE
โœ… 3:1 Load to Recovery Ratio โ€“ Designed to match Mastersโ€™ recovery capacity
โœ… Integrated Strength Training โ€“ Supports bone density, posture, and durability
โœ… Smart Tech Sync โ€“ Fully compatible with Garmin, HRV tools, and endurance platforms

๐ŸŽฏ Youโ€™re not just racingโ€”you're proving whatโ€™s possible after 40.
This isnโ€™t a generic plan. Itโ€™s a performance roadmap designed for the mature athlete who wants to race smarter, train with purpose, and cross that Calella-Barcelona finish line stronger than ever.
