Plan Description

The Middle Distance Triathlon in Sandefjord, Norway, demands a combination of endurance, efficiency, and race-day adaptability. This 24-week program prepares you to excel across the 1.9 km sheltered fjord swim, the 90 km rolling countryside bike course, and the 21.1 km flat city-center run, all while addressing the specific needs of athletes aged 60 and over.

🏊 Swim Readiness for the Fjord
Drills for open-water navigation, sighting, and pace control prepare you for the single-lap swim with an Australian exit, ensuring smooth re-entry and sustained rhythm. Cold-water acclimation strategies help you adapt to expected 18–20°C conditions.

🚴 Strength and Stamina for the Rolling Bike Course
Targeted climbing sessions and sustained flat-pace intervals mirror the two-lap, rolling route through the Norwegian countryside. The plan builds the ability to handle curves, maintain speed on flats, and manage aid station approaches with confidence—even on roads open to traffic.

🏃 Speed Endurance for the City-Center Run
Progressive run workouts develop steady pacing for the four-lap flat course, with mental strategies for lap-based racing and hydration practice to match on-course aid station placement.

✅ Tailored for Athletes 60+ – Protects joints, maintains muscle mass, and boosts recovery capacity
✅ Evidence-Based Progression – 2:1 build-to-recovery cycle for sustainable gains
✅ Integrated Strength Training – Supports bone density, balance, and injury prevention
✅ Race-Specific Intervals – VO₂ max and threshold work timed to peak for Sandefjord’s demands
✅ Technical Skill Work – Transition practice, bike handling, and run form refinement

By race day, you’ll have the endurance to sustain effort, the speed to remain competitive, and the durability to finish strong.

💬 Personalized Email Coach Support Included – Your training questions answered, your progress monitored, and your race-day confidence boosted.
