Plan Description
The Half Distance Triathlon in Muncie, Indiana, challenges athletes with a 1.2-mile swim at Prairie Creek Reservoir, a fast 56-mile flat bike course, and a 13.1-mile run featuring rolling hills. Preparing effectively for these varied segments requires a training plan focused on endurance, strength, and race-specific skills.
This 24-week training plan is designed for senior triathletes aged 60 and above, addressing the physical changes that come with age while maximizing performance for the Half Distance Triathlon. It builds a solid aerobic base and muscular strength necessary for sustained effort across swim, bike, and run.
Key benefits include:
✅ Strength and Bone Health: Resistance training maintains muscle mass and bone density, reducing injury risk and improving durability.
✅ Aerobic Endurance: Low-intensity sessions enhance cardiovascular efficiency, essential for managing energy during long swim and bike legs.
✅ VO₂ Max and Speed Work: Strategic high-intensity intervals preserve aerobic capacity and neuromuscular sharpness, critical for bike power and run speed.
✅ Coordination and Efficiency: Transition drills and neuromuscular activation improve movement economy and smooth race pacing.
This plan is ideal if you can already swim 1,500 meters comfortably, bike 30 miles steadily, and run at least 5 miles consistently. It uses a 2:1 build-to-recovery ratio, increasing volume and intensity progressively to ensure sustainable development.
Additional supports include swim technique videos, heart rate and power-based workouts, and strength training designed specifically for senior athletes. The plan syncs with major smart training platforms, helping you monitor and adjust your training.
By following this plan, you’ll prepare to tackle the calm 73°F waters of Prairie Creek Reservoir, the fast rural bike routes, and the rolling hills of the half marathon run with confidence and endurance.
Invest in this comprehensive training plan, including personalized email coach support, to guide your preparation and maximize your performance on race day.
Start your journey to a successful Half Distance Triathlon in Muncie today.
