Plan Description
The Half Distance Triathlon Calgary unfolds in Harmony, Alberta—west of the city and nestled near the Canadian Rockies. Athletes face a 1.2-mile (1.9 km) two-loop swim in Lake Harmony, followed by a 56-mile (90 km) bike through Calgary’s rolling eastern foothills, and finish with a 13.1-mile (21.1 km) run along the Bow River and the Mickelson National Golf Course. With variable winds, potential elevation changes, and mild water temperatures (averaging 70°F/21°C), this course demands a balanced mix of endurance, strength, and efficiency.
🎯 This Senior Triathlete 60+ Half Distance Training Plan is designed specifically to prepare you for those exact demands—whether you're aiming to stay competitive or complete the race feeling strong and healthy. With 24 weeks of structured progression, it addresses the physiological changes experienced with age while preparing you for the Calgary terrain and climate.
✅ Build Endurance for Calgary’s Elevation and Wind
Low-intensity aerobic sessions build the stamina needed for long efforts without overtaxing your body, ideal for the hilly, wind-exposed bike course.
✅ Swim-Ready for Lake Harmony
Drills and heart-rate-based swim sessions improve efficiency and pacing—key for handling the two-loop format with an Aussie exit in cool water.
✅ Run with Strength and Stability
Three out-and-back run loops on mixed terrain call for durability and joint integrity—supported through integrated strength routines tailored for senior athletes.
✅ Boost Speed and Recovery with VO₂ Max Workouts
Short, high-intensity intervals in the latter half of the plan maintain top-end speed and help you perform well on rolling terrain and during late-race surges.
✅ Train for Transitions and Efficiency
Movement coordination and neuromuscular drills sharpen transitions and pacing, helping you stay mentally and physically efficient on race day.
✅ Adaptable, Periodized Training Structure
The 2:1 build-to-recovery ratio helps prevent injury, reduce fatigue, and align with recovery needs for athletes 60 and over.
