Plan Description
This comprehensive 36-week Middle Distance Triathlon training plan is expertly crafted to prepare senior triathletes aged 60+ for the unique demands of the Middle Distance Triathlon Gunsan Korea course. The plan aligns perfectly with the race’s swim, bike, and run challenges, ensuring you arrive on race day ready to perform at your peak with confidence.
🏊♂️ Swim Preparation (1.9 km, 2 laps in calm Yellow Sea waters):
The plan begins with a strong focus on swim technique and endurance during the Base Phase (Weeks 1–12), including video-based drills designed to improve efficiency in clear, sheltered water conditions similar to Gunsan’s calm Yellow Sea swim. This ensures you develop the stamina and skill to navigate the course’s marked buoys smoothly.
🚴♂️ Bike Training (90 km, 4 laps on the Saemangeum seawall):
The Build and Peak Phases introduce structured bike workouts tailored for sustained effort on flat, fast, and traffic-free roads—mirroring the world’s longest seawall experience. Incorporating threshold, brick, and interval sessions strengthens your ability to maintain a powerful pace while managing coastal winds, helping you maximize speed and endurance across all four laps.
🏃♂️ Run Conditioning (21.1 km, 3 laps on a flat waterfront course):
Run training prioritizes flat-course endurance and speed, with gradual mileage increases and targeted speed sessions to prepare you for the eco-friendly waterfront route. Hydration and pacing strategies are integrated to help maintain comfort and performance throughout the half-marathon distance on race day.
