Plan Description
Half Distance Triathlon Boise: Train Smart for Idaho’s demanding 70.3-mile test through Idaho’s diverse terrain. With a 1.2-mile swim in Lucky Peak Reservoir, a rolling 56-mile bike ride through rural outskirts, and a 13.1-mile flat run along the Boise River Greenbelt, athletes face varied physical demands and warm race-day conditions averaging 81°F (27°C). The Senior Triathlete 60+ Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is built specifically to help experienced athletes age 60 and over meet these challenges with confidence, strength, and endurance.
Before beginning a solid base of 4 to 6 weeks is required. If you've got the base then you're ready to proceed.
✅ Race-Specific Endurance for Boise’s Course:
The plan’s progressive weekly volume (7.5 to 12.5 hours) prepares you to handle Boise’s long climbs, rolling bike segments, and sustained effort across two run loops. Aerobic-focused workouts emphasize pacing for long durations in warm conditions—key for Boise’s midday finish.
✅ Strength Training for Rolling Terrain & Transitions:
Senior-specific resistance training supports muscle and joint resilience, ideal for descending early in the bike course and transitioning efficiently from swim to bike at Barclay Bay and from bike to run downtown.
✅ Heat Readiness & Recovery Optimization:
Structured build-to-recovery cycles (2:1 ratio) help your body adapt to the steady heat of Boise’s race environment. Hydration strategies and low-intensity endurance sessions reduce cumulative fatigue while improving cardiovascular efficiency.
✅ Run-Specific Support for Flat Terrain Performance:
VO₂ max and threshold intervals sharpen aerobic capacity, preparing you to maintain form and pace across Boise’s fast, shaded river path during the final 13.1 miles.
✅ Efficient Swim Preparation for Calm Reservoir Conditions:
Video-based swim drills enhance technique for the clear waters of Lucky Peak Reservoir, helping you complete the 1.2-mile swim strong and composed.
Whether you're returning to the sport or striving to stay competitive, this 24-week plan blends structure with flexibility. Integrated strength, mobility, and neuromuscular training keep you moving efficiently while reducing injury risk.
📩 Includes personalized coach email support to guide your training journey.
Prepare with purpose. Train with confidence. Race Boise strong.
