Competing in the Half Distance Triathlon in Coeur d’Alene requires more than determination—it requires a smart, age-appropriate training plan that prepares your body and mind for the unique demands of this Idaho course. With its cool lake swim, rolling bike terrain, and two-loop run in mild summer temperatures, this race rewards preparation and consistency over raw intensity.
This 44-week training plan is specifically structured for senior triathletes aged 60 and over. It begins with a progressive base-building phase that focuses on mobility, form, and gradual endurance development. This gives your body time to adapt before shifting into more race-specific work designed for the swim-bike-run demands of the Coeur d’Alene course.
