Plan Description

Prepare confidently for the Half Distance Triathlon in Dallas–Little Elm with a training plan that’s designed specifically for triathletes aged 60 and over. This program aligns perfectly with the unique demands of the course—a wetsuit-legal lake swim, fast rural roads, and a smooth, spectator-friendly trail run. With a focus on durability, injury prevention, and performance, this plan will guide you all the way to the finish line with strength and purpose.

✅ Swim-Specific Endurance & Technique
The plan features progressive swim workouts tailored to open water success in Lewisville Lake. Drill-based sessions build comfort and efficiency in a wetsuit-legal environment, so you're prepared for the one-loop, 1.2-mile swim from Little Elm Beach.

✅ Bike Durability on Rural Roads
Structured long rides on smooth terrain simulate the flat, rolling 56-mile bike course north of Little Elm. No chip seal here—just consistent aerobic sessions, pacing strategies, and smart power work designed for senior athletes who need to build strength without risking overtraining.

✅ Run Confidence on Crushed Gravel Trails
Three-loop run training prepares you for the 13.9-mile rolling course on the Little Elm nature trail system. Focused sessions improve neuromuscular coordination, pacing, and energy conservation so you can stay strong over time on the hard-packed gravel surface.

✅ Age-Specific Strength & Mobility Training
Maintain bone density and joint health with weekly resistance sessions that preserve lean muscle and improve balance—key to racing safely and efficiently at 60+.

✅ Periodized and Device-Compatible
From Garmin to TrainingPeaks, every workout is optimized for heart rate, RPE, or power. Follow a proven 2:1 build-to-recover cycle to ensure you absorb the training and show up fully prepared.

💡 BONUS: Personalized Coach Support Included
With email support built into the plan, you’re never training alone. Get expert guidance tailored to your needs as you progress toward race day.

This Half Distance Triathlon training plan is the ideal path to preparing for the unique terrain and energy of the Dallas–Little Elm course. Build fitness, protect your health, and show up race-ready.

👉 Start your training today with a plan built for you—age-smart, race-focused, and fully supported.
