This 36-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan for athletes 60+ is strategically built to prepare you for every challenge presented by the Calgary course. Whether you're returning after time off or looking to advance beyond Olympic distance, this plan balances performance, injury prevention, and age-specific recovery.
✅ Adapts to Your Starting Point
The initial 12-week base phase reestablishes cardiovascular endurance, joint mobility, and foundational strength—ideal for rebuilding after a break.
✅ Prepares You for the Calgary Terrain
Gradual volume builds, brick workouts, and threshold sessions align with the bike and run demands of rolling foothills and out-and-back loops.
✅ Swim Confidence in Open Water
Video-supported swim drills improve technique for Lake Harmony’s two-loop format, including Aussie exit preparation.
✅ Structured for Aging Athletes
With a 2:1 work-to-recovery cycle, power- and heart-rate-based sessions, and strength training for bone health, the plan respects the physiological needs of senior triathletes.
✅ Peak-Phase Race Simulation
In the final 12 weeks, training focuses on tempo pacing, nutrition strategy, and course-specific intensity to help you manage Calgary’s winds and variable elevation with confidence.
✅ Time-Efficient and Sustainable
Weekly volume progresses from ~7.5 to 12 hours, emphasizing quality over quantity and ensuring consistent energy through all three disciplines.
You’ll benefit from a plan that not only targets Half Distance Triathlon performance—but also prioritizes long-term athletic health. With personalized email coach support, you're never alone in the journey.
