Plan Description
This comprehensive 36-week Middle Distance Triathlon training plan is expertly designed to prepare senior triathletes aged 60+ for the unique demands of the Middle Distance Triathlon Salou Span course. The plan builds the specific endurance, strength, and race skills you’ll need to excel in this fast, flat, and technically varied event.
🏊♂️ Swim Preparation for the 1.9KM Two-Lap Course
The training plan emphasizes swim technique and endurance through video-based drills and open-water skills practice, perfectly aligning with Salou’s shallow sea swim off Llevant Beach. By focusing on swim efficiency and breathing control, you’ll be well-prepared to handle the rolling beach start and the warm water conditions where wetsuits are optional.
🚴♀️ Bike Training Tailored for a Fast, Flat 85KM Course
With just over 400m of climbing across three laps on a closed, flat dual carriageway, the bike course rewards sustained power and aerodynamic positioning. This training plan incorporates device-compatible heart rate and power-based workouts, including tempo, threshold, and interval sessions, to boost your speed and endurance on the bike. Strength training further supports muscular endurance and injury prevention, essential for the consistent pedal stroke needed on this award-winning course.
🏃♂️ Run Workouts to Master the Four-Lap, Flat 21KM Course
The plan’s structured periodization includes brick workouts and threshold runs that mimic race conditions, building the stamina and speed needed to maintain a strong pace throughout the run. Neuromuscular drills enhance coordination and transition efficiency, helping you finish strong amid the cheering crowds along Costa Dorada’s beachfront.
