Plan Description
Train Smart for the Half Distance Triathlon Les Sables d’Olonne—With a Plan Built for Athletes 60 and Over
Preparing for the Half Distance Triathlon Les Sables d’Olonne requires more than just miles—it demands a smart, age-appropriate approach that builds strength, protects joints, and prepares you for the unique demands of this race. This 24-week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan for Senior Triathletes 60+ does exactly that.
How This Plan Prepares You for Les Sables d’Olonne
🏊 Canal Swim Readiness:
You’ll swim 1,500–3,000 meters weekly in both pool and open water-focused sessions. Technique drills and video-based guidance ensure you’re prepared for the straight-line point-to-point swim through the Vendée Globe canal.
🚴 Built for the 91 km Coastal Ride:
Progressive bike workouts include longer endurance rides and sessions designed to build strength for the 600 meters of elevation gain. Indoor power-based rides target threshold and VO₂ max to help you handle wind, rolling terrain, and varying surfaces through the Olonne forest and salt marshes.
🏃 Run-Ready for the Promenade and Beach:
The two-lap, 21.1 km flat run along Les Remblai—and 200 meters on sand—demands both durability and efficiency. Weekly runs train your aerobic base, while brick sessions simulate post-bike fatigue. Mobility and strength work keep hips, knees, and ankles resilient.
What You’ll Gain
✅ Personalized Support: Every plan includes one-on-one email coaching support to guide you, adjust training as needed, and keep you motivated.
✅ Strength Training for Seniors: Weekly routines designed to protect bone density, preserve muscle, and improve balance.
✅ Low-Impact, High-Efficiency Workouts: Focus on quality over quantity, reducing wear and tear while maximizing gains.
✅ Race-Specific Preparation: Practice sessions for open water, bike-to-run transitions, and fueling help you race smart and strong.
You’ve committed to racing one of France’s most scenic and challenging coastal Half Distance Triathlon events. Now commit to the right preparation. This plan supports performance, reduces injury risk, and helps you build the confidence to race well—and enjoy the journey along the way.
