Racing the Half Distance Triathlon at New York’s iconic Jones Beach? This 24-week, senior-specific training plan is engineered to help you thrive on race day, from the calm waters of Zach’s Bay to the smooth pavement of Wantagh Parkway and the ocean breeze along the boardwalk.
🚦 Before You Begin – Base Fitness Required:
To get the most from this plan, you should already be able to:
✅ Swim 1,500 meters continuously
✅ Bike 30 miles with steady endurance

If you meet these baselines, you're in the perfect position to benefit from this progressive Half Distance Triathlon training program.

🚴 Crush the Wantagh Parkway Ride
Train with power-based bike workouts designed for aging athletes, gradually building to the 56-mile distance on a closed, smooth course. Two-lap simulations help prepare your pacing and hydration strategies for this unique stretch of roadway.
