Plan Description
Preparing for the Half Distance Triathlon Ohio means training for more than just distance—you're preparing for the unique demands of a flat, fast course with warm water and high summer heat. This 36-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan, built specifically for senior triathletes 60+, helps you train smart, maintain strength, and race confidently across all three disciplines.
🌊 Swim Preparation in Open Water Conditions
The 1.2-mile swim starts off the Kelleys Island Ferry and finishes at the Paper District Marina—an open-water environment that calls for strong navigation, comfort in choppy conditions, and efficient stroke mechanics. This plan includes video-based swim drills, open-water simulation sets, and endurance-focused workouts to prepare you for the unique swim start and water conditions (avg. 78°F).
🚴 Bike Training for Flat, Fast Terrain
With only 790 feet of elevation across 56 miles, the Ohio bike course rewards steady pacing and muscular endurance. Our heart rate and power-based bike sessions are specifically designed for flat terrain, helping you develop sustained output without over-reliance on climbs. Brick workouts improve your transition and run-readiness after long saddle time.
🏃 Run Training for Heat and Pacing
A flat, two-loop 13.1-mile run course through downtown Sandusky—with average race-day temps around 88°F—requires heat acclimation, hydration strategies, and pacing precision. This plan integrates threshold intervals, hydration-focused long runs, and neuromuscular training to build race-day resilience while minimizing fatigue risk.
💪 Supportive for Aging Athletes
You’ll benefit from structured strength training that protects bone density and joint health, with a weekly 2:1 work-to-recovery ratio that supports long-term consistency and injury prevention. Whether you're coming back from a break or progressing beyond shorter races, the plan begins with a 12-week base phase, easing you in before progressing into build and peak periods.
