Plan Description

Half Distance Triathlon Bolton – 36-Week Training Plan for Senior Triathletes 60+

Train Smarter. Stay Strong. Race Confident.

Ready to take on the Half Distance Triathlon Bolton? Whether you’ve conquered sprints, Olympic distances or stepped away from racing for a while, this plan is designed specifically for Senior Triathletes 60+ who are ready to level up without overtraining or risking injury.

From the chilly 66°F (19°C) waters of Pennington Flash to the rolling bike climbs through Victoria and Old Kiln Roads, and the energy-filled run past Bolton Town Hall—this race demands strength, stamina, and smart pacing. That’s exactly what this plan delivers.

Why This Plan Works for Senior Athletes

✅ Built for Aging Athletes – Prioritizes joint health, muscle preservation, and cardiovascular efficiency.

✅ Heart Rate & Power-Based Workouts – Works seamlessly with Garmin and other smart devices.

✅ Strategic Periodization – 2:1 work-to-recovery ratio reduces injury risk while enhancing performance.

✅ Strength & Bone Health Focus – Includes resistance workouts to maintain muscle mass and bone density.

✅ Aerobic Endurance + Speed – Low-intensity base building + targeted VO2 max sessions for race-day readiness.

✅ Integrated Swim Drills with Video – Boost open-water confidence without wasting time poolside.

✅ Brick & Threshold Sessions – Mimic the Bolton race day demands for smoother transitions and sustained pacing.

A Training Plan That Evolves With You

🔹 Build Phase (Weeks 13–24): Introduce tempo work, longer bikes, open-water prep, and bricks.
