The Half Distance Triathlon in Kenting, Taiwan poses specific physiological and environmental challenges—particularly for athletes aged 60 and older. A open-water swim in warm coastal waters; an extended flat bike segment with potential wind exposure; and a run course featuring elevation gain through Sheding Natural Park all require a carefully periodized, age-aware approach to training.

This 36-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan is engineered to address the unique needs of senior triathletes—preserving strength, optimizing endurance, and protecting against injury and overtraining.

How the Plan Prepares You for Kenting’s Course
Swim (1.9KM – M-shaped in Little Bay):
✔️ Technical swim focus in the base phase improves efficiency and comfort in open water.
✔️ Video-based drills target stroke mechanics, reducing energy waste.
✔️ Neuromuscular training prepares for pacing adjustments during the multi-turn course.

Bike (90KM – Flat, coastal with exposure):
✔️ Endurance-focused rides build sustained aerobic capacity essential for steady-state efforts.
✔️ Power-based sessions develop pacing precision and adaptability to wind.
✔️ Brick workouts simulate the fatigue profile of Kenting’s flat-to-hilly bike-run transition.

Run (21.1KM – Gradual climbs, natural terrain):
✔️ Tempo and threshold sessions improve muscular resilience for climbing late in the race.
✔️ Progressive volume accounts for joint recovery and tendon durability.
✔️ Run-specific strength training targets lower-body stability and stride economy.
