Plan Description

Crush Oceanside with the Ultimate 36-Week Plan for Senior Triathletes 60+

If you're a competitive triathlete over 60 eyeing the Half Distance Oceanside Triathlon, this is your moment. Known for its cool 61°F harbor swim, scenic ride through Camp Pendleton, and a fast yet technical run along The Strand, Oceanside is as demanding as it is iconic. Our 36-Week Half Distance Training Plan is built specifically for Senior Triathletes 60+, combining proven endurance strategies with age-specific training science to get you to the start line—and across the finish—strong.

Why This Plan Works for Oceanside

🏊 Sharpen Your Swim Technique: Start with integrated video drills to build open-water confidence and adapt to cooler temperatures.

🚴 Conquer the Bike Course: Power-based rides simulate Camp Pendleton’s hills and wind conditions, ensuring you're prepared for every challenge.

🏃 Nail the Run: Two-loop run sessions focus on pacing, tempo, and elevation—perfect for Oceanside’s unique course demands.

Designed for Senior Triathletes 60+

✅ Heart Rate & Power Zones: Syncs with Garmin and other smart devices for precise training and recovery monitoring.

✅ Senior-Specific Periodization: A 2:1 training/recovery ratio optimizes gains while reducing risk of injury and overtraining.

✅ Functional Strength Workouts: Maintain muscle mass, joint stability, and bone density with targeted strength sessions.

✅ Endurance with Intelligence: Emphasis on aerobic base (Zone 2) with strategic bursts of VO2 max work to maintain speed.

✅ Neuromuscular Drills & Brick Sessions: Improve coordination, reaction time, and transition efficiency with race-ready workouts.

✅ No Guesswork: Every session is device-ready, including swim workouts with video guidance.

Phase-by-Phase Overview

🔹 Base Phase (Weeks 1–12): Rebuild aerobic fitness, mobility, and strength
🔹 Build Phase (Weeks 13–24): Develop tempo, stamina, and bike-run transitions
🔹 Peak Phase (Weeks 25–36): Sharpen with intervals, threshold sets, and race simulations

Time-Efficient and Results-Oriented

⏱ Weekly Training: Starts at 7.5 hours, builds to 12 hours
💪 Strength: 82 sessions | 🏊 Swim: 135 sessions
🚴 Bike: 120 sessions | 🏃 Run: 98 sessions

Train Smart. Stay Strong. Race Oceanside with Confidence.
