Plan Description
Train with Confidence for the Ohio Half Distance Triathlon
A 24-Week Program Built for Strength, Endurance, and Longevity
Designed specifically for experienced triathletes aged 60 and over, this Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan prepares you for the unique challenges of the Ohio course—its flat terrain, warm water, summer heat, and fast pace. With a structured, evidence-based approach, this 24-week program builds strength, aerobic efficiency, and durability while minimizing injury risk.
🏊♂️ Swim Ready for Sandusky Bay
The open-water swim begins with a rolling start from the Kelleys Island Ferry, offering a steady current and average water temperatures of 78°F. This plan includes open-water simulation workouts and video drills to improve sighting, stroke economy, and confidence in dynamic swim environments.
🚴♀️ Bike Strong Across Flat Terrain
With only 790 feet of elevation over 56 miles, the Ohio bike course rewards sustained power and pacing. Structured long rides, cadence-focused intervals, and power-based training sessions help you build muscular endurance and improve energy efficiency on flat terrain.
🏃♂️ Run Steady in Summer Heat
The two-loop, spectator-friendly run course winds through downtown Sandusky, where athletes face average temps near 88°F. This plan includes heat adaptation guidance, hydration strategies, and pacing workouts to help you manage effort and recover quickly between loops.
💪 Senior-Specific Strength Training
Weekly routines support muscle mass, bone density, and joint health—key to staying strong and injury-free through 24 weeks of progressive training.
⏱️ Efficient, Age-Smart Training Design
A sustainable 2:1 build-to-recovery cycle keeps training productive without excessive fatigue. VO₂ max intervals and neuromuscular drills maintain sharpness without overloading your system.
📈 Start Where You Are
If you can comfortably swim 1,500 meters, bike 30 miles, and run 5 miles, you’re ready to begin. Weekly training hours progress from 7.5 to 12.5, with each session carefully structured for the mature athlete.
