Plan Description
Build Strength, Endurance, and Confidence For Half Distance Triathlon Musselman with a Plan Tailored for Athletes 60+
With a swim in the calm, clear waters of Seneca Lake, a scenic 56-mile bike through rolling farmland, and a two-loop run course past Hobart and William Smith College, this event demands careful preparation—especially for senior triathletes.
🏊♂️ Swim: The 1.2-mile point-to-point course in Seneca Lake starts at the Finger Lakes Welcome Center. Expect clean, cool water (~72°F) and a sun-sheltered route ideal for sighting and pacing.
🚴♀️ Bike: This 56-mile course features early climbing out of the valley toward Cayuga Lake, then transitions into a fast, winding descent—perfect for triathletes who have trained for endurance and bike handling on varied terrain.
🏃♂️ Run: The 13.1-mile run consists of two rolling loops, mixing lakeside views with collegiate charm and average temperatures around 70°F—ideal for a steady, efficient pace.
A Smarter Path to Race Day
Our Senior Triathlete 60+ Half Distance Training Plan is designed with the Musselman’s terrain and demands in mind. This 24-week structured program helps you build the right mix of strength, aerobic efficiency, and confidence—while respecting the recovery needs of aging athletes.
✅ Targeted Endurance Building: Long rides and runs simulate the rolling terrain of the Musselman course, with pacing strategies that preserve energy for strong finishes.
✅ Swim Drills for Efficiency: Video-based technique sessions improve open-water comfort and stroke economy—critical for the point-to-point Seneca Lake swim.
✅ Strength & Mobility Routines: Focused on maintaining bone density, joint integrity, and posture to reduce injury risk and improve durability.
✅ Strategic Speed Work: Periodized VO₂ max and threshold sessions preserve top-end performance, introduced gradually to avoid overtraining.
✅ 2:1 Recovery Framework: Build-recover structure respects age-related recovery needs while sustaining training progress.
💡 Bonus: Your purchase includes personalized email coach support—so you're never training alone.
