Plan Description
Train Smart for the Half Distance Ruidoso Triathlon — Designed for Senior Athletes 60+
The 44-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan for senior triathletes 60+ is specifically crafted to prepare you for the unique terrain and challenges of the Half Distance Ruidoso Triathlon. This event is no ordinary race—it features altitude, elevation gain, and rugged terrain. Your training must reflect that. This plan does.
🏊♂️ Swim Preparation – Grindstone Lake Conditions
The plan includes structured, technique-focused swim workouts to help you master endurance pacing across a two-lap, 1.2-mile swim in the cool, high-altitude waters of Grindstone Lake. Drill progressions and aerobic sets build open-water confidence and lung capacity to manage the thinner mountain air.
🚴 Bike Preparation – Hilly Climb to Hondo
Expect serious climbs and extended time in the saddle on the 56-mile bike leg with rolling terrain and elevation gain. Long aerobic rides and interval sessions build the strength and stamina you’ll need to handle the route’s sustained climbs. The plan integrates hill-specific work and low-cadence strength sets to prepare your legs for the road to Hondo.
🏃 Run Preparation – Scenic Mountain Village Route
Running at altitude after a tough bike ride demands smart pacing and muscular endurance. This plan features brick workouts and aerobic progression runs that mirror the race’s 13.1-mile course through mountain neighborhoods and trails. Recovery runs and mobility sessions help minimize joint stress while preparing you for a strong finish in Midtown Ruidoso.
✅ Designed for Senior Athletes 60+
✅ Age-appropriate 2-weeks on - 1week recovery, mobility, and strength training
