Preparing for the Half Distance Triathlon in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho calls for a structured approach that respects your body’s capacity and your long-term athletic goals. This 36-week training plan is designed specifically for Senior Triathletes 60+ and aligns with the physical demands of Coeur d’Alene’s unique course: a cool-water swim in Lake Coeur d’Alene, a bike ride with over 2,600 feet of elevation, and a rolling two-loop run through city streets.
By following this plan, you’ll benefit from a gradual progression that builds endurance and strength while respecting the recovery needs of athletes over 60. The program opens with 12 weeks of foundational work, making it suitable even if you've taken a break. It then guides you through two focused training blocks to prepare your body and mind for the specific demands of race day in Idaho.
