Plan Description

The Full Distance Triathlon California offers a stunning, fast, and flat course through Sacramento’s riverfront and farmland—perfect for seasoned Masters athletes looking to achieve personal bests. Our 36-week Full Distance Triathlon Training Plan is meticulously designed to prepare you for every challenge this race throws your way, especially tailored for athletes over 40 who demand results without compromising recovery.

✅ How This Training Plan Matches the California Course:
🏊 Swim Ready – With a 2.4-mile point-to-point swim in the American and Sacramento Rivers, this plan builds your endurance and refines stroke technique with proprioceptive drills and open-water simulations. You'll arrive at the Tower Bridge finish feeling strong and efficient.

🚴 Bike-Focused Development – The 112-mile bike through Sacramento’s flat, fast agricultural terrain is ideal for time gains. Our structured FTP-based intervals and long aerobic builds align perfectly with the course’s two-loop layout—helping you sustain speed while minimizing fatigue.

🏃 Run-Specific Conditioning – Prepare for the 26.2-mile flat run with race-paced bricks, lactate threshold intervals, and recovery strategies to ensure you’re ready for a powerful finish through Capitol landmarks.

✔ Progressive Adaptation Framework – 12 weeks of base training followed by 24 weeks of targeted race prep
✔ Precision Training Methodology – Structured by MHR, FTP, and RPE metrics for smart, data-driven improvements
✔ Periodized Load Management – 3:1 workload cycles ensure peak performance while avoiding burnout
✔ Masters-Specific Strength Work – Boosts tendon resilience, mobility, and joint integrity
