This 36-week training plan supports your progression from base building to peak performance, tailored for experienced athletes over 40 who are serious about training with purpose.
With a 1.2-mile swim in Lake Coeur d’Alene’s clear, cool waters, a 56-mile bike ride through rolling terrain with over 2600 feet of elevation gain, and a 13.1-mile run on a two-loop, undulating course, this event challenges both aerobic capacity and muscular endurance. This training plan is structured to meet those demands with periodized progression that builds strength, improves efficiency, and prepares your body to manage intensity across all three disciplines.
