This 44-week Middle Distance Triathlon training plan is expertly designed to prepare senior athletes aged 60+ for the unique challenges of the Middle Distance Triathlon Salou Span course. By aligning with the specific demands of the swim, bike, and run segments, this plan ensures you arrive on race day ready to perform at your best.

🏊‍♂️ Swim Preparation: The plan’s early phase builds a solid aerobic base and improves technique, perfectly matching the 1.9km two-lap swim in shallow, warm waters off Llevant Beach. By focusing on stroke efficiency and breathing drills, you’ll handle the rolling start confidently and navigate waves smoothly, whether you wear a wetsuit or not.

🚴‍♂️ Bike Readiness: With the Salou course’s fast, flat 85km bike route featuring minimal climbs over three laps, this plan prioritizes building sustainable power and speed. Structured intervals, time trial efforts, and brick sessions simulate the race’s pace, while strength training supports muscle endurance, helping you maintain an aero position comfortably and push for your personal best on closed roads.

🏃‍♂️ Run Endurance: The four-lap, flat 21km run benefits from the plan’s gradual buildup of mileage and targeted VO2 max workouts. This enhances your aerobic capacity and pace control, enabling you to handle the energetic crowd support along the Costa Dorada finish and sprint across the red carpet with confidence and strength.
