Plan Description
Race day in Peguera Mallorca is unforgettable—swimming in the turquoise waters of Torà Beach, cycling through charming villages and the Serra de la Tramuntana foothills, and running along the bustling boulevard and boardwalk. This Middle Distance Triathlon training plan is specifically designed for athletes aged 60+ to prepare for these unique course challenges with confidence, strength, and efficiency.
From the first session, you’ll work on the skills and conditioning that mirror race-day conditions: open-water swim strength for the two-lap ocean start, climbing power and descending control for the 500m-per-lap bike elevation, and steady pacing for the four-lap mixed-terrain run.
✅ Key Benefits of This 36-Week Plan
📲 Device-Compatible Workouts – Heart rate and power-based sessions ready for Garmin and other smart platforms.
🏊 Open-Water Swim Preparation – Technique drills and endurance sets designed for warm-water, multi-lap racing.
🚴 Climb & Descent Conditioning – Hill repeats and technical handling workouts for Mallorca’s winding roads.
🏃 Mixed-Terrain Run Training – Sessions that simulate boulevard asphalt, boardwalk tiles, and pedestrian paths.
💪 Strength & Mobility – Targeted resistance training to maintain muscle mass, bone density, and joint health.
⏱ Race-Specific Brick Workouts – Bike-to-run sessions to perfect transitions and pacing strategy.
🔄 Structured Periodization – 2:1 work-to-recovery ratio to optimize performance and prevent overtraining.
