Plan Description
This Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is designed specifically for senior triathletes aged 60 and over—because your best racing years aren’t behind you. They’re right now.
If you have a solid base of aerobic fitness, and you're gearing up for the stunning Sunshine Coast course, with its calm ocean swim, fast motorway bike leg, and scenic coastal run, this 24-week plan will prepare you to train efficiently, race confidently, and finish strong.
✅ Built for Senior Athletes (60+)
Age-specific adaptations help you build strength, preserve endurance, and reduce injury risk. Every session is designed with your long-term health and performance in mind.
🏊 Ocean Swim Confidence
Develop aerobic efficiency and upper-body endurance to thrive in the 1.9km ocean swim at Mooloolaba Beach. Video swim drills help you refine stroke technique for smoother, more efficient movement through sheltered waters.
🚴 Bike Strength for the Motorway Miles
Train for the fast and rolling 90km ride along Sunshine Motorway with structured power-based rides that balance aerobic endurance and muscular strength—essential for tackling both speed and control through scenic loops.
🏃 Run Ready for the Coastal Terrain
Prepare for the 21.1km run over Alexandra Headland Hill and along the coastal boardwalk with progressive long runs, hill sessions, and run-off-the-bike workouts that simulate race-day fatigue and build resilience.
💪 Strength & Bone Health Focus
Integrated resistance training supports joint stability, muscle mass, and bone density—all critical for athletes over 60 who want to stay strong through training and race day.
🧠 VO₂ Max & Neuromuscular Maintenance
Targeted speed sessions and coordination drills enhance top-end fitness and reaction time, helping you stay sharp and efficient throughout your race.
📅 Progressive Training Schedule
