The Half Distance San Salvador Triathlon delivers an unforgettable race experience—starting with a 1.9 km swim in the calm, volcanic-cliff–lined waters of Lake Ilopango, followed by a 90 km rolling bike course along the Pan-American Highway with sweeping highland views, and finishing with a hilly 21 km run through the vibrant streets and historic heart of San Salvador. This 36-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan prepares you for every element of this course, ensuring you arrive on race day fit, confident, and ready.

Built for senior triathletes aged 60+, the program blends endurance development, strength maintenance, and course-specific preparation—while prioritizing recovery and injury prevention. Whether you're stepping up from Olympic distance or returning after a training break, the plan starts with a 12-week base phase to restore aerobic capacity, joint mobility, and muscular endurance, then moves into targeted build and peak phases that simulate race conditions.
