Plan Description
Master the Gallipoli Half Distance Triathlon with Confidence – A Proven Training Plan for Senior Athletes 60+
The Gallipoli Half Distance Triathlon demands grit and preparation—from the calm, bay swim off the Old Gendarmerie Pier to the hilly bike leg over Conkbayiri Hill, and the historical run laps along the ANZAC Cove coastline. This 44-week triathlon training plan is expertly crafted to help senior triathletes (age 60+) meet those challenges with strength, endurance, and confidence.
✅ Swim Ready for Gallipoli Waters
Progressive swim drills build comfort and efficiency in open water conditions like those in Gallipoli’s protected bay. Technique-focused sessions improve form while maintaining aerobic capacity for the 1.9 km swim.
✅ Climb-Ready Cycling Strength
With nearly 900m of elevation gain on the bike course, including steep climbs, this plan integrates low-cadence hill simulations and strength training to boost your power on inclines—especially for sections like Conkbayiri Hill.
✅ Endurance for Coastal Running
The three-lap, 21.1 km coastal run is tackled with strategic brick sessions and pacing intervals. The plan prepares you to hold strong form across laps while navigating fatigue on a course exposed to wind and sun.
✅ Designed for Senior Athletes
Tailored to the needs of older triathletes, this plan prioritizes sustainable progress with a 2:1 work-to-recovery ratio, low-impact strength sessions, and mobility work to maintain joint health and reduce injury risk.
✅ Age-Specific VO₂ Max & Transition Work
High-intensity intervals maintain top-end fitness and neuromuscular sharpness, while brick workouts simulate race-day transitions and elevate confidence on event day.
✅ Tech-Integrated & Personalized
Fully compatible with Garmin, RPE, and power-based devices—no spreadsheets. You'll also receive personalized coaching support via email to guide you every step of the way.
