Plan Description

Training for the Half Distance Triathlon North Carolina is a celebration of strength, resilience, and the passion that drives you to keep pushing boundaries at every age. This 24-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan is thoughtfully crafted for triathletes aged 60 and over who refuse to let time define their limits.

The swim at Wrightsville Beach’s saltwater channel, with its current-assisted flow, invites you to glide confidently across 1.2 miles. Our plan offers swim technique coaching and drills designed to refine your efficiency, helping you feel powerful and calm in the water, no matter your age.

The bike course takes you 56 miles through peaceful rural roads, crossing the Cape Fear River, demanding steady power and endurance. This plan balances progressive training with strength routines that preserve your muscle mass and bone health—supporting you in staying strong, injury-free, and ready to ride with purpose.

As you transition to the 13.1-mile run through vibrant Wilmington, you’ll draw on the endurance and grit built during your training. Incorporating speed work and transition drills, this plan helps you maintain sharpness and fluidity, so you can savor every step of the route—including the iconic “hot corner” and the historic finish by the USS North Carolina.

This isn’t just a plan to cross a finish line—it’s a journey designed to empower you to race with confidence, longevity, and joy. Key benefits of this Half Distance Triathlon training plan include:

✅ A balanced 2:1 build-to-recovery approach tailored for the evolving needs of senior athletes
✅ Progressive weekly training hours peaking at 12.5 to build endurance without burnout
✅ Strength and mobility workouts focused on maintaining muscle, flexibility, and injury prevention
✅ Expert swim, bike, and run sessions aligned with the unique demands of the North Carolina course
✅ Personalized email coaching for motivation, guidance, and support every step of the way
✅ Workouts compatible with smart training devices for seamless tracking

If you’re comfortable swimming 1,500 meters, biking 30 miles, and running 5 miles, this plan will elevate your performance and help you embrace the challenge ahead with pride and preparation.

Step into your power, honor your experience, and prepare to race your best Half Distance Triathlon North Carolina yet. Personalized coaching support is ready to help you make every training session count—because your journey deserves expert care.
