Plan Description

From the cool, downstream swim in the Brazos River to the fast countryside bike ride and riverside run to the historic Suspension Bridge finish this 44-week triathlon training plan is designed exclusively for athletes aged 60 and older, helping you prepare for every challenge the Waco course has to offer.

✅ Swim-Ready Confidence: With technique-driven swim workouts and progressive drill sessions, you'll gain the strength and efficiency needed to navigate the 1.2-mile downstream swim in calm waters—ideal for building endurance without fatigue. You'll feel confident diving in at Pecan Bottom Park and powering to Indian Springs Park.

🚴 Bike Like a Texan: The 56-mile one-loop bike course features rolling terrain and long flats. This plan prepares you to handle both, thanks to structured endurance rides, gradual power-building intervals, and low-impact training to protect joints while increasing performance.

🏃 Run Strong to the Finish: The 13.1-mile riverside run demands both stamina and pacing. Our training includes brick workouts, pacing strategy, and neuromuscular drills that mirror the Waco terrain—helping you cruise across bridges and finish strong at the Waco Suspension Bridge.

Why This Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan Works for Senior Athletes:

✔️ Age-Appropriate Structure: Built specifically for 60+ athletes
✔️ Gentle Progression: Low-impact endurance building with ample recovery
✔️ Bone & Muscle Support: Resistance training for functional strength
✔️ VO₂ Max Maintenance: Key interval sessions preserve aerobic power
✔️ Smart Tech Integration: Compatible with Garmin, heart rate monitors & RPE-based training
✔️ Injury Prevention Focus: Mobility, strength, and rest built into every phase

Whether you're stepping into your first Half Distance Triathlon or returning for another season, this plan helps you train smart, race strong, and finish proud.
