Plan Description

The Middle Distance Triathlon in Florianópolis offers a breathtaking yet challenging race experience, with a sunrise swim at Jurerê Internacional Beach, a flat yet potentially windy coastal bike course, and a lively, flat three-loop run. This 36-week training plan is tailored for senior triathletes aged 60+, ensuring you’re physically and mentally ready to perform your best on race day.

✅ Swim Preparedness for Calm, Warm Waters – The program’s video-based swim drills and open-water practice sessions develop stroke efficiency, pacing control, and sighting skills—key for a fast, controlled swim in Florianópolis’ typically calm bay.

✅ Bike Strength for Coastal Winds – Structured power-based cycling workouts, long endurance rides, and brick sessions train you to maintain speed over the flat, scenic course while adapting to potential gusts along the coast.

✅ Run Efficiency for the Flat Three-Loop Finish – Progressive run training builds aerobic endurance, incorporates race-pace intervals, and sharpens your ability to sustain effort over multiple loops—perfect for the energetic, crowd-filled streets of the Florianópolis run course.

✅ Endurance & Recovery for Senior Athletes – The plan’s 2:1 work-to-recovery ratio, strength training for bone health, and flexibility sessions support consistent improvement while minimizing injury risk.

✅ Age-Specific Performance Gains – Targeted VO₂ max, threshold, and neuromuscular workouts help maintain speed, coordination, and power—vital for staying competitive at any age.

From the 12-week base phase (aerobic foundation, mobility, swim technique) to the 24-week build and peak phases (race-specific workouts, coastal wind simulation, and brick training), every element is structured for efficiency, recovery, and performance. Weekly hours progress from 7.5 to 12, balancing training intensity with age-appropriate recovery.

Your race in Florianópolis deserves more than generic preparation—it requires a plan that understands the course and your needs as a senior athlete.
