This 24-week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan for Senior Athletes 60+ is built specifically for your stage of life—focusing on endurance, strength, and longevity.
✅ Ideal Starting Point
Before beginning, you should be able to:
🏊 Swim 1,500 meters comfortably
🚴 Bike 30 miles with steady endurance
🏃 Run 5 miles consistently
If you meet these baselines, you're ready to experience the calm 1.9 km swim in Ribeira Beach bay, a scenic 90 km bike ride through Sintra-Cascais Natural Park and Lisbon’s landmarks, and a 21.1 km rolling run along the windswept Guincho coastline. To race strong, your training must reflect both the course demands and your experience as a senior triathlete.
✅ Race-Specific Prep for Cascais
🏖️ Swim: Structured swim workouts + technique drills prepare you for the protected but chilly (17–19°C) waters of Ribeira Beach.
🚵 Bike: Intervals and tempo efforts mimic the rolling terrain through Guincho Beach and the Estoril Formula 1 Circuit.
🏃 Run: Brick sessions and rolling-run simulations build strength for the out-and-back coastal run to Cabo Raso.
