Plan Description

Train Smart for the Muskoka Half Distance Triathlon – A 36-Week Plan for Athletes 60+

Racing the Half Distance Triathlon Muskoka means preparing for a course that demands endurance, resilience, and intelligent pacing. This 36-week training plan is designed specifically for triathletes aged 60 and older who are ready to train strategically for a challenging swim, hilly bike ride, and strength-testing run.

The course in Muskoka isn't just scenic—it’s demanding:

🏊 1.9 km lake swim with a beach start in typically calm waters.

🚴 90 km bike ride with over 1,200 meters of climbing through rural Ontario.

🏃 21.1 km run course mixing pavement, shaded trails, and short, punchy hills.

This program prepares you not just to complete, but to handle this course effectively—by focusing on durability, aerobic conditioning, muscular maintenance, and intelligent race prep.

✅ Builds Aerobic Base Without Overload
Early training emphasizes low-intensity, longer sessions to support heart health and stamina, without risking burnout.

✅ Strengthens Bone and Muscle Health
Resistance training is built in to help preserve lean muscle mass and prevent injury.

✅ VO2 Max and Threshold Training
Targeted intervals improve oxygen uptake and sustainable pace—critical for Muskoka's rolling bike course.

✅ Neuromuscular and Brick Workouts
Enhance coordination and simulate transitions for a smoother race day.

✅ Video-Supported Swim Drills
Swim workouts include guided drills that refine technique and increase water confidence.

✅ Garmin and Smartwatch-Ready
Train with heart rate or power—this plan works with your tech.

✅ 2:1 Periodization to Maximize Recovery
The structure supports adaptation while minimizing fatigue.

Weekly training starts at ~7.5 hours and builds up to 12 hours, with rest weeks planned throughout.

📣 If you’re racing the Half Distance Triathlon Muskoka, this plan gives you the structure, specificity, and support you need—tailored for age 60 and up.

Email-based coach support is included to guide you through the process.
