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.
