Plan Description
Preparing for the Oregon Half Distance Triathlon means training for a course that’s fast, scenic, and uniquely suited for strategic execution. The race begins with a 1.2-mile swim in the downriver current of the Willamette River, followed by a 56-mile bike ride through open, rolling terrain, and finishes with a flat, shaded 13.1-mile run through a peaceful nature preserve. With average water temps of 65°F and race-day air temps around 80°F, this event offers favorable—but still demanding—conditions for athletes over 60.
Our 44-week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan for Senior Athletes 60+ is specifically designed to prepare you for the unique terrain, temperature, and pacing needs of this course. Whether you're returning to racing or starting your triathlon journey later in life, this plan helps you build endurance, stay injury-free, and arrive on race day strong, prepared, and confident.
✅ Tailored Endurance Development
Build aerobic capacity and stamina through low-impact, long-duration sessions that mirror the sustained output required for the Willamette River swim and flat bike course.
✅ Strength & Bone Health Support
Incorporates functional resistance training to preserve muscle mass and joint integrity—key for staying powerful on the bike and efficient on the run.
✅ Race-Specific Conditioning
Includes brick workouts and pacing intervals to prepare your body for smooth transitions and sustained effort across all three legs of the race.
✅ Warm-Weather Readiness
Acclimatization sessions and smart pacing strategies prepare you to perform safely and effectively in Oregon’s 80°F average race-day temps.
✅ Injury Prevention for Older Athletes
Structured rest weeks, mobility training, and a 2:1 work-to-recovery ratio reduce the risk of overuse and support consistent progress.
This plan blends science-backed structure with the flexibility mature athletes need to thrive. With full compatibility across Garmin and other smart devices, every workout is easy to follow, track, and adjust based on heart rate, power, or RPE.
Includes direct email support from a certified triathlon coach.
Let’s train with purpose—and get you to the finish line feeling strong.
