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.
