This 44-week triathlon training plan is specifically designed for senior triathletes aged 60+, providing a safe, progressive, and proven path to race-day success at Rio de Janeiro featuring a swim at Copacabana Beach, a fast bike ride along Avenida Atlântica, and a scenic run through Aterro do Flamengo?

🏊 Prepare for the Copacabana Swim
Build comfort and confidence in the open water with gradual endurance swims, technique drills, and workouts tailored to your pace and recovery needs. The calm, warm waters of Copacabana are ideal for our low-impact swim training focus.

🚴 Dominate the Avenida Atlântica Bike Course
Flat, fast, and scenic—just like your structured long rides and interval sessions. Our plan emphasizes sustainable aerobic development, helping you handle the 90-km bike course efficiently while taking in Rio’s world-famous landmarks.

🏃 Run Strong at Aterro do Flamengo
The three-lap 21-km run demands pacing, heat management, and resilience. We prepare you with brick workouts, heat adaptation strategies, and VO2 max intervals to ensure you're ready for race-day temperatures near 80°F (27°C).
