This 24-week training plan is expertly designed for senior triathletes aged 60 and over, giving you everything you need to perform your best on race day while prioritizing your long-term health and endurance.
.
🌊 Swim Preparation: The Half Distance Triathlon swim at Copacabana Beach features calm, sheltered waters at around 73°F (23°C). Our plan includes video swim drills focused on stroke efficiency and endurance building, helping you glide through the 1,900-meter course with confidence and energy conservation.
.
🚴♂️ Bike Conditioning: The 90-kilometer bike course is flat and scenic, running along Avenida Atlântica past Rio’s landmarks. This training plan builds your aerobic base through steady endurance rides and sharpens your speed and power with targeted VO2 max intervals—perfect for sustaining steady, efficient cycling across three laps.
.
🏃♂️ Run Endurance: The 21-kilometer run around Aterro do Flamengo demands sustained pacing and mental toughness. With progressive run volume and threshold workouts, you’ll develop the stamina and strength needed for the three-lap urban shoreline course, all while training safely in warm conditions similar to Rio’s 80°F (27°C) race-day temperatures.
