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.
