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

📈 Periodized structure: Sustainable 2:1 build-to-recovery ratio

⏱️ Progressive workload: From 7.5 to 12.5 hours/week at peak

🧠 Cognitive & neuromuscular training: Supports agility and coordination

🏊 Baseline Requirements:
You should already be able to swim 1,500m, bike 30 miles, and run 5 miles. If that’s you—this plan is your next step toward a confident finish in Augusta.

🎯 Let’s Get You to the Finish Line
