Plan Description
The Half Distance Triathlon in Manta, Ecuador offers athletes a striking yet demanding coastal course. From a 1.9km swim in the warm Pacific Ocean to a flat 90km bike ride along scenic coastal roads, and a 21km run through the vibrant streets of Manta, this event requires more than determination—it demands preparation aligned with the unique race-day conditions.
Our 44-week Triathlon Training Plan for Senior Athletes 60+ is specifically designed to help you meet the challenges of this course with confidence, strength, and endurance. Tailored for older triathletes, the plan aligns each phase of training to prepare your body for the demands of tropical temperatures, ocean swimming, flat and fast bike segments, and a road run in warm coastal conditions.
How This Plan Prepares You for Manta’s Race Conditions:
✔️ Warm Ocean Swim Readiness: Technique-focused swim drills build efficiency and confidence in open water, while aerobic conditioning helps you stay relaxed during the rolling start.
✔️ Flat Bike Course Optimization: Long, steady-state rides develop sustainable power output ideal for the flat terrain, while brick workouts simulate back-to-back bike-to-run transitions.
✔️ Run Efficiency in Tropical Heat: Pacing sessions and heat acclimation strategies support performance in Manta’s 77°F (25°C) race-day temperatures.
✔️ Injury Prevention for Older Athletes: Strength training supports bone density and joint health; recovery is built into each cycle to help you stay injury-free.
✔️ Aerobic & Speed Maintenance: VO2 max intervals preserve speed and endurance critical for mastering the second half of the race.
✔️ Neuromuscular Training: Improves transition times and overall race-day execution through targeted drills.
Structured Phases to Build Confidence:
Base Phase (12 weeks): Build aerobic capacity, strength, and mobility from the ground up.
Triathlon-Specific Phase (32 weeks): Integrates race-pace intervals, brick workouts, and tapering for peak performance.
This evidence-based plan is fully compatible with Garmin and other smart training platforms. It’s ideal for athletes over 60 looking to train smart and race strong.
