The Half Distance Triathlon on Sir Bani Yas Island offers a unique and awe-inspiring challenge: calm turquoise waters, fast-but-undulating island roads, and a flat, festive coastal run. This Senior 60+ Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is expertly designed to help you meet the course head-on—with strength, endurance, and a smart, age-conscious strategy.

✅ Build Swim Confidence for the Gulf Waters

The 96KM bike course includes fast flats and climbs reaching 100m. We’ve built in sustained tempo rides and targeted climbing workouts to improve leg strength and aerobic capacity, so you’re prepared for both speed and elevation.

✅ Run Strong in the Coastal Loops
With the 21.1KM flat run looping through the energetic race village, pacing and hydration matter. This plan integrates long aerobic runs, race-specific brick sessions, and recovery-enhancing routines—perfect for race-day consistency and avoiding fatigue.
