Plan Description
Augusta’s course is both fast and demanding—featuring a current-assisted swim, rolling bike terrain with 2000 ft of elevation, and a shaded yet undulating run. This plan is purpose-built to prepare you for exactly that.
If you’re a seasoned endurance athlete over 60 and gearing up for the Half Distance Triathlon in Augusta, Georgia, this 24-week senior-specific training plan is your key to racing strong, staying injury-free, and reaching your potential.
✅ Swim Preparation for the Savannah River
With a 1.2-mile downstream swim, form and stroke efficiency are critical. You’ll benefit from:
💦 Video-based technique drills for improved glide and reduced fatigue
🧠 Low-intensity aerobic swim sets to reinforce endurance without overtraining
✅ Bike-Specific Strength for Georgia’s Backroads
Expect long climbs, fast descents, and power flats—this plan trains you to handle them all with:
🚴♂️ Progressive long rides that build sustained aerobic strength
🏋️ Integrated resistance workouts to preserve leg strength and joint resilience
⚡ VO₂ max bike intervals to prepare for surges and hill efforts
✅ Run Durability for the Shaded Greeneway
With over 9 miles of shaded trail running and mild elevation, you'll need pacing precision and muscular endurance:
🏃 Threshold and hill sessions to build strength and resilience under fatigue
🍃 Mobility and balance work to reduce injury risk over longer distances
🔁 Transition run workouts to dial in your race-day rhythm
✔️ Why This Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan Works:
👴 Designed for 60+ athletes: Prioritizes bone health, joint protection, and smart recovery
