Plan Description
The Half Distance Triathlon Türkiye is a dream race—calm, turquoise waters, a fast, coastal bike course, and a vibrant run through the iconic Land of Legends. But to truly enjoy it and race your best, especially as a senior triathlete 60+, you need a smart, sustainable training approach. This 24-week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is designed precisely for that.
🎯 How This Plan Prepares You for Türkiye:
🏊 Swim Readiness for Open Water:
The two-loop, Australian exit swim requires stamina and smooth technique. This plan includes weekly open-water-focused swim workouts and video drills to enhance stroke efficiency and confidence in choppy conditions—so you hit the beach strong and steady.
🚴 Bike Strength for a Fast, Flat Ride:
Türkiye’s 90KM flat bike course is built for speed. You'll build endurance with long steady rides and boost power with threshold and cadence-focused sessions—ideal for holding pace in aero position along the Turkish coast.
🏃 Run Efficiency for a Lively Three-Lap Course:
The 21.1KM run through the Land of Legends requires strong pacing and mental focus. You'll train with progression runs, brick workouts, and transition-specific drills to handle heat, loops, and varied terrain confidently.
💪 Senior-Specific Strength & Recovery
Designed specifically for athletes over 60, this plan balances intensity and recovery with:
✅ Integrated strength sessions to support muscle and bone health
