Plan Description

This tailored training plan is designed specifically for Senior Triathletes 60+ who want to boost endurance, strength, and race-day performance—no previous endurance experience needed.

Why This Training Plan is Perfect for Your Boulder Race
The Half Distance Boulder Triathlon features a 1.2-mile swim in the crisp 62°F Boulder Reservoir, a fast and scenic 56-mile bike course with smooth pavement and rolling hills, and a challenging 13.1-mile run with downhill rollers on packed dirt trails. To race this course well, you need smart, structured training that builds endurance safely and improves your strength and speed for race day.

Our 44-week plan guides you step-by-step:

✅ Beginner-Friendly Base — 12 weeks to gently build your aerobic fitness and strength, setting a solid foundation without burnout.
✅ Smart Endurance Training — Long, steady sessions increase cardiovascular health for sustained power in the swim, bike, and run.
✅ Strength & Bone Health Focus — Resistance exercises protect joints, maintain muscle, and keep you strong on rough trails and hills.
✅ Speed & VO2 Max Workouts — High-intensity intervals sharpen your speed and help you power through Boulder’s rolling terrain.
✅ Neuromuscular Drills — Improve coordination, transitions, and reaction times for race efficiency.
✅ Compatible with Your Devices — Easily sync workouts with Garmin, smartwatches, and popular platforms to track heart rate, power, and effort.
✅ Injury-Resistant Design — Tailored strength training protects aging joints and reduces injury risk.
✅ Periodized Recovery Cycles — Training cycles that respect your body’s recovery needs for consistent progress.

What to Expect
🧱 Phase 1: Base Building (12 Weeks)
