Are you 60+ and aiming to conquer the Half Distance Triathlon in Aix-en-Provence? This 36-week training plan is designed to meet the needs of senior triathletes like you—who want to train smart, stay injury-free, and perform strong on race day.

Why This Plan Works for Aix-en-Provence

The Aix-en-Provence Half Distance Triathlon demands more than general fitness. With a chilly lake swim, a hilly bike ride through the scenic but technical terrain of Provence, and a three-loop run ending at the iconic La Rotonde, this course is beautiful—but tough.

That’s where this plan comes in.

You’ll begin with a 12-week base phase—perfect if you’re returning after a break or building back after time off. We focus on restoring aerobic endurance, mobility, and strength. Then, you’ll move into 24 weeks of focused training to improve speed, durability, and race-day efficiency—without burning out.
