Plan Description
Preparing for the Half Distance Triathlon Maine requires a training plan that reflects the race’s unique demands: a fast 1.2-mile river swim, a hilly 56-mile bike through the Kennebec River Valley, and a 13.1-mile run on rolling, shaded terrain. Designed for athletes 60 and over, this 36-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan aligns precisely with these course-specific challenges, supporting endurance, strength, and injury prevention.
✅ Builds Aerobic Endurance for River Swim
The plan’s extended low-intensity sessions and video-based swim drills develop the aerobic capacity and form efficiency needed to harness the river current and maintain control in fast conditions.
✅ Prepares for Maine’s Climbs and Descents
Over 3,000 feet of climbing demands bike strength and skill. This plan incorporates structured bike workouts—including threshold intervals and brick sessions—to simulate hills and improve handling on descents.
✅ Run-Specific Conditioning for Rolling Terrain
With consistent run pacing over flat and rolling sections, the single-loop 13.1-mile course rewards athletes who can manage effort. Progressive tempo and VO2 max sessions improve durability and pacing for late-race performance.
✅ Respects Recovery Needs of Senior Athletes
A 2:1 work-to-recovery periodization reduces the risk of overtraining, while strength workouts promote bone density, muscle health, and functional balance—vital for sustained training in older athletes.
✅ Accommodates Any Starting Fitness Level
The 12-week base phase supports safe re-entry into training after time off, focusing on mobility, endurance, and cardiovascular health before advancing to more demanding workouts.
🌦️ Tailored for Race Day Conditions
With race-day temps averaging 75°F (24°C), athletes will be acclimated through long sessions that simulate warm-weather racing.
Whether you're stepping up from shorter triathlons or returning to racing, this structured training plan is your guide to completing the Half Distance Triathlon Maine with strength and confidence.
📧 Includes personal email coach support to answer questions and guide your progress.
