Racing the Middle Distance Triathlon in Turku, Finland means preparing for a fast, spectator-filled course that demands precision, endurance, and resilience. This 24-week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is tailored for experienced athletes aged 60+, focusing on the specific physical demands you’ll face on race day.
🏊 Swim – Aura River Flow Advantage
The rolling-start, single-lap swim upstream and downstream in the Aura River requires both sustained aerobic power and efficient stroke mechanics. This plan’s video-based swim drills and endurance sessions build comfort in moving water, while technique focus ensures you maintain form when the current changes.
🚴 Bike – Highway Speed & Control
With three loops along the E18 highway, the bike leg rewards steady power output and the ability to manage wind and pacing. Heart rate and power-based workouts in the plan prepare you for long, controlled efforts, while targeted strength training supports joint health and leg durability over 90 km.
🏃 Run – Riverbank Energy & Crowd Atmosphere
The four-lap run along Turku’s riverbanks keeps you close to cheering spectators but demands smart pacing to manage energy across repeated turns and short inclines. Progressive run workouts, VO₂ max sessions, and neuromuscular drills help you hold form and speed deep into the half marathon.
