Plan Description
The Half Distance Triathlon Mossel Bay South Africa offers a stunning but challenging race with a 1.9km sea swim, a hilly 90km bike course, and a three-lap 21.1km run through the scenic coastal town. To succeed, you need a training plan tailored to these unique demands and designed especially for senior athletes.
This 36-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan is crafted for triathletes aged 60+, focusing on building endurance, strength, and race-day confidence while minimizing overtraining risk.
✅ Swim Preparedness for Open Water:
Video-based swim drills improve technique and prepare you for the sea swim starting at Santos Beach, adapting to rolling starts and 19.1˚C water temperatures.
✅ Strength and Endurance for the Hilly Bike:
The 90km bike route with 1020m elevation requires power and stamina. This plan includes strength training for bone and muscle health, plus VO2 max and speed sessions to handle climbs and sustained efforts.
✅ Run Training that Matches Race Demands:
Three laps of an undulating 21.1km run along the bay call for pacing and endurance. Brick workouts and threshold runs simulate race conditions to build stamina and race efficiency.
✅ Smart Periodization for Recovery:
A 2:1 work-to-recovery ratio balances training load with rest, helping you progress steadily from base through peak over 36 weeks.
✅ Senior-Focused Structure:
Starting with a 12-week base phase for rebuilding cardiovascular fitness and joint mobility, the plan gradually increases intensity to prepare you fully for race day.
✅ Device-Compatible Workouts:
Seamlessly track heart rate, power, and pace on Garmin and other platforms for precise training control.
Train smart, maintain strength, and race with confidence in the Half Distance Triathlon Mossel Bay South Africa. This science-backed, time-efficient plan is your key to performing at your best.
