Plan Description

The Half Distance Triathlon Wisconsin is no ordinary challenge. From the calm, scenic waters of Lake Monona to the hilly Madison countryside and a spirited run past the State Capitol, this race demands strength, strategy, and smart preparation—especially for athletes 60 and over. That’s where this 44-week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan steps in.

✅ Built for Older Athletes: Every week of this plan is designed with the unique physiology and recovery needs of triathletes aged 60+. It’s more than just workouts—it’s a guided path to peak performance, safely and sustainably.

🏊 Swim Prep for Lake Monona: The one-loop swim in Lake Monona is manageable and well-supported—but only if you’re confident in the water. This plan includes progressive swim drills and endurance sets tailored for open-water readiness and calm, efficient strokes.

🚴 Crush the Madison Hills: With over 2,000 feet of climbing on the 56-mile bike course, leg strength, endurance, and pacing are essential. The training includes long aerobic rides and interval work to build stamina and climbing power—plus brick workouts to sharpen your bike-to-run transitions.

🏃 Finish Strong in Downtown Madison: The 13.1-mile run features rolling hills and high energy through the city. Our run sessions balance endurance building with recovery-focused pacing to protect joints and keep you consistent across all miles.

✨ Key Benefits for Senior Triathletes
✔️ 12-week beginner-friendly base phase builds aerobic fitness and muscular endurance
✔️ Targeted strength training supports bone health and muscle preservation
✔️ VO2 max intervals maintain top-end aerobic capacity

✔️ Weekly structure follows a smart 2:1 work-to-recovery ratio
✔️ Fully compatible with Garmin, Apple Watch, and major training apps
✔️ Personalized pacing options using power, heart rate, or RPE
✔️ Personalized email support from experienced coaches

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all plan. It’s a purpose-built, periodized roadmap for senior athletes ready to train smart and race strong. Whether you're aiming to finish your first Half Distance Triathlon or return to the sport with new goals, this plan delivers the structure, support, and confidence you need.
