Plan Description
Preparing for the Half Distance Triathlon Cartagena Colombia requires a training plan that matches the race’s unique demands—from the calm 1.9 km swim in Bahía de las Ánimas’ protected Caribbean waters to the fast, flat 90 km coastal bike course, and the scenic 13.1-mile run through Cartagena’s historic Old City.
Our 44-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan is expertly designed for senior athletes aged 60+ to build endurance, strength, and confidence tailored specifically for this course:
✅ Swim Efficiency in Warm, Calm Waters: Technique-driven swim sessions focus on stroke mechanics and endurance, preparing you to glide smoothly through the warm 80°F (28°C) waters, reducing fatigue and enhancing efficiency.
✅ Bike Power and Speed: Structured intervals and pacing workouts develop your ability to sustain high speeds along Cartagena’s mostly flat bike route, taking advantage of the coastal tailwinds and scenic views.
✅ Run Strength and Coordination: The two-loop run course demands endurance and nimble movement on cobblestone streets and tight turns. Brick workouts and neuromuscular drills in the plan help you sharpen transitions and finish strong at the iconic Torre del Reloj.
✅ Sustainable Endurance for Longevity: Long, low-intensity sessions combined with targeted strength training protect muscle mass and bone health, minimizing injury risk for senior triathletes.
🎯 Refine Without Burnout: Incorporates “B” and “C” races to simulate race-day pressure while preserving your body and season. This approach is ideal for practicing strategy and execution without sacrificing longevity or risking injury.
✅ Tech-Integrated Training: Compatible with Garmin, smartwatches, and popular platforms, workouts use heart rate, power, or perceived exertion for personalized pacing and feedback.
With personalized email coach support included, this plan offers expert guidance to help you prepare safely and perform your best in the Half Distance Triathlon Cartagena Colombia.
🎯 Ready to take your training to the next level? Secure your plan now and race with confidence, strength, and smart strategy.
