Plan Description
Prepare for the iconic Middle Distance Triathlon Montréal with a race-focused training plan built specifically for athletes aged 60+. Every session in this 36-week program is aligned with the unique demands of Montréal’s course—helping you swim faster, ride stronger, and run efficiently while supporting long-term health and recovery.
✅ Swim Olympic Basin with Confidence – Calm, crystal-clear waters reward athletes with precise pacing and strong technique. Early-season video-based swim drills and open-water simulations ensure you’re ready for the 1.9 km swim’s rolling start and fast, streamlined transition.
✅ Power Through the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve Bike Course – With 21 laps on an F1 race track, sustained speed and strategic energy management are essential. Structured threshold intervals, race-specific brick sessions, and legally-spaced drafting practice (12m zone, 25-second pass rule) prepare you for optimal pacing and bike-handling precision.
✅ Run Strong on Montréal’s Olympic Site – The flat 4½-lap half marathon rewards consistent rhythm. This plan builds aerobic endurance, integrates tempo sessions for sustained pace, and refines run form for maximum efficiency on race day.
✅ Age-Specific Strength & Mobility – Functional resistance training preserves bone density and muscle mass, supporting long-term performance and injury prevention.
✅ Periodized for Progress – A proven 2:1 work-to-recovery ratio ensures sustainable gains, with training volume scaling from 7.5 to 12 hours per week.
✅ Smart Tech Integration – Heart rate and power-based workouts are fully compatible with Garmin and other devices, making tracking effortless.
From the base phase that reestablishes cardiovascular durability to the peak phase that fine-tunes speed, this plan blends science-backed endurance training with course-specific preparation. Whether you’re stepping up from Olympic distance or aiming for personal best potential, you’ll have a clear, structured path to race day success.
📩 Includes Personalized Email Coach Support – Get expert feedback, adjustments, and motivation throughout your journey.
Start your Middle Distance Triathlon Montréal training today and experience the confidence of knowing you’re ready for every lap, every turn, and every stride of this unforgettable race.
