Plan Description
This structured 44-week training plan is designed for athletes over 40 and carefully builds your endurance, strength, and confidence through progressive phases—without needing prior experience in endurance sports.
The swim in Lake Coeur d’Alene features calm, clean waters with temperatures averaging 68°F. This plan develops open-water swim endurance while refining technique through guided drills. You’ll enter race day familiar with pacing and stroke control.
The 56-mile bike course includes 2,644 feet of elevation gain across hilly terrain. Your training gradually incorporates climbing efforts, power intervals, and longer rides to prepare your legs for sustained work over rolling terrain. You'll also practice transitions to simulate real race conditions.
The two-loop, 13.1-mile run course requires solid endurance and pacing. Weekly brick workouts build the ability to run well off the bike while managing fatigue. Strength sessions reinforce muscular durability, helping reduce injury risk and maintain running form over hills.
