Plan Description

Half Distance Ruidoso Triathlon — A Plan Built for Senior Triathletes 60+

This structured 24-week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan, designed specifically for athletes aged 60 and older, prepares your body and mind for every demand of this unique race.

✅ Swim Readiness for Altitude and Open Water
Grindstone Lake’s clear, cool waters at elevation require efficiency and control. Open water-focused sessions and video-supported swim drills build aerobic capacity and stroke mechanics for a strong, calm performance in the two-lap lake swim.

✅ Bike Power for Mountain Terrain
The course’s long climbs and fast descents demand strength and pacing. This plan incorporates intervals, power-based long rides, and muscular endurance sets to prepare you for Ruidoso’s high-desert elevation and steady climbing toward Hondo.

✅ Run Durability for Varied Terrain
The 13.1-mile run through mountain villages and neighborhoods includes rolling hills and changing surfaces. Strategic brick workouts, gradual long run progression, and cadence drills sharpen your leg strength, coordination, and form under fatigue.


✅ Support for the Senior Athlete
As we age, maintaining performance means training smarter—not harder. This plan integrates:

🏋️‍♂️ Strength & Bone Health routines to prevent injury and support longevity

❤️ Aerobic Base Building to sustain endurance without overtraining

⚡ VO₂ Max and Threshold Work to maintain speed and preserve sharpness

🤸‍♂️ Mobility and Recovery work built into each week

Backed by Personal Support
Each plan comes with personalized email coaching—so you're never training alone. Get expert guidance tailored to your pace, goals, and schedule.

Ready to Race Strong in Ruidoso?
If you can currently swim 1,500 meters, bike 30 miles, and run 5 miles, this plan will guide you to the finish line with strength, confidence, and a reduced risk of injury.

🎯 Start your journey toward a successful Half Distance Triathlon in Ruidoso today—experience expert-backed training that respects your body, supports your goals, and helps you perform at your best.
