This 36-week Middle Distance Triathlon training plan is built for senior triathletes aged 60+, with every session designed to prepare you for the unique demands of the Samarkand course—so you arrive ready to perform with confidence and strength.
From the crisp, clear 1.9 km swim in pure mountain water at one of the world’s largest rowing centers, to the 88 km rolling bike course past the Registan Ensemble and scenic countryside, to the flat yet mentally challenging 21.5 km four-lap run in the Silk Road Samarkand tourist complex—this plan equips you for every stage.
