Plan Description
The Dallas–Little Elm Half Distance Triathlon is a well-designed course that rewards consistent pacing, strong endurance, and efficient movement. This 24-week training plan is crafted specifically for triathletes aged 60 and over, ensuring your preparation aligns with both the course demands and your long-term health.
Recommended Starting Point
This plan is ideal if you are already able to: Swim 1,500 meters comfortably | Bike 30 miles with steady endurance | Run 5 miles consistently
🏊♂️ Swim Preparation for Lewisville Lake:
With a likely wetsuit-legal swim in cooler spring water, you'll benefit from low-intensity aerobic swim workouts that build comfort in open water and develop steady endurance. 🟦 Video swim drills included in the plan help improve stroke efficiency, allowing you to navigate the 1.2-mile loop with confidence and ease.
🚴 Bike Training for Rural Texas Roads:
The flat-to-gently-rolling 56-mile course features excellent road surfaces and no chip seal—a rare treat in Texas. The plan incorporates progressive endurance rides and power-based intervals to develop strength and stamina. Expect to feel steady, strong, and smooth throughout the scenic ride.
🏃 Run Readiness for Crushed Gravel Trails:
The run course winds through Little Elm’s packed gravel trail system—flat, fast, and friendly on joints. With three spectator-filled loops, your legs will appreciate the plan’s balance of VO₂ max work, low-impact volume, and mobility-focused strength sessions that keep you agile and race-ready.
