If you're a triathlete aged 60 or over with your sights set on the Half Distance Triathlon Italy Emilia-Romagna, this 24-week plan was built just for you. You’ve got the experience. Now it’s time to train with a program that respects your journey, honors your body, and prepares you to perform at your very best in one of Europe’s most scenic race venues.
🏁 Why This Plan Is Different
You’re not chasing finish lines—you’re chasing excellence, longevity, and the thrill of racing well. Cervia’s beautiful, flat course is fast, but only if your body is strong and well-prepared. That begins with base training—the essential phase of endurance conditioning that lays the foundation for every swim stroke, pedal stroke, and stride. This plan assumes you've completed a solid base phase—comfortably swimming 1,500 meters, biking 30 miles, and running 5 miles. From there, we build, intelligently and progressively.
💪 Built for the Senior Triathlete, Powered by Science
This training plan isn't a scaled-down version of something generic. It's a science-backed system designed specifically for athletes 60 and older, focusing on performance, protection, and progress.
