Plan Description
The Half Distance Triathlon 36-Week Training Plan for Senior Triathletes 60+ is expertly crafted to prepare you for the unique demands of the Middle Distance Triathlon in Taitung, Taiwan—from the tranquil swim in Flowing Lake to the coastal bike leg and scenic half-marathon finish.
This structured, science-backed plan ensures you're not just ready to complete the course, but to race it confidently and efficiently.
✅ Swim Preparation for Calm, Clear Waters
With video-based swim drills and weekly technique sessions, you'll be ready for Flowing Lake’s one-lap course. The plan emphasizes form, breathing, and open-water skills during the build phase, helping you swim strong in the non-tidal, buoy-lined lake.
🚴 Bike Strength for the Pacific Coastal Highway
Rolling hills and possible headwinds are no problem. With structured power-based intervals and brick workouts, this plan builds the strength and pacing discipline needed for Taiwan’s flat-to-undulating roads. Long weekend rides simulate race terrain, preparing you for speed and rhythm despite coastal winds.
🏃 Run Endurance for Shaded City Paths
The two-lap run through Taitung City and Seashore Park demands both mental focus and pacing control. Our plan includes tempo sessions, race-pace runs, and neuromuscular drills—so you’re ready to handle paved paths, shaded stretches, and the vibrant crowd energy in the final kilometers.
💪 Built for Athletes 60+
Age-specific strength sessions help preserve bone density and muscular power. The 2:1 work-to-recovery cycle ensures you recover well while progressing consistently.
📅 Phase-by-Phase Progression
Weeks 1–12: Rebuild aerobic fitness, flexibility, and strength
Weeks 13–24: Develop endurance, add speed, and simulate race segments
Weeks 25–36: Sharpen race-day fitness and adapt to Taiwan-specific course demands
📲 Device-Compatible Workouts + Personalized Coaching
All sessions are ready for Garmin and major platforms. Plus, you'll receive personalized email support from a certified coach to help tailor the plan to your lifestyle, goals, or limitations.
