Plan Description

The Middle Distance Triathlon in Xiamen, China offers a fast, flat course with a warm swim in Tong’an Bay, a scenic 90km coastal bike ride, and a smooth, traffic-free 21.1km run. This 24-week training plan is designed specifically for triathletes aged 60 and over who want to perform their best on a course built for speed, while staying strong, healthy, and consistent.

Every session in this program aligns with the unique demands of Xiamen’s terrain—steady pacing on the bike, sustained run rhythm, and efficient open-water swimming in mild conditions. You’ll develop the aerobic base, muscular resilience, and race-specific skills to handle a flat, fast profile without fading late in the race.

✅ Age-Specific Strength Training – Maintain muscle mass, bone density, and joint health for sustainable performance.
✅ Aerobic Endurance for Coastal Conditions – Build cardiovascular efficiency with long, steady sessions perfect for the flat bike and run.
✅ VO₂ Max & Threshold Intervals – Improve top-end speed and sustain pace on Xiamen’s uninterrupted course.
✅ Swim Technique Drills – Optimize stroke efficiency for warm, open-water conditions in Tong’an Bay.
✅ Transition & Coordination Work – Enhance agility for smooth shifts between disciplines.
✅ Periodized Structure – Balanced 2:1 build-to-recovery cycle to maximize adaptation while avoiding burnout.
✅ Smart Device Integration – Heart rate and power-based workouts for precise, measurable gains.

Whether your goal is a personal best or simply racing strong from start to finish, this plan supports you with progressive training, senior-focused recovery strategies, and personalized email coach support to guide you every step of the way.

Commit to the preparation that matches the speed and flow of the Middle Distance Triathlon Xiamen China. Your race-ready fitness starts here—secure your training plan today and make your next start line your strongest yet.
