Plan Description
Half Distance Vitoria-Gasteiz Spain Triathlon Training Plan
Senior Triathlete 60+ | 24 Weeks for Strength, Endurance & Longevity
Racing the Half Distance Triathlon in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain requires a thoughtful balance of endurance, strength, and smart progression. This 24-week program is crafted for athletes aged 60 and over who want to perform with confidence on race day while staying healthy and resilient throughout training.
The single-loop 1.9 km swim in the pristine Ulibarri-Gamboa Lake rewards athletes with calm, clear water—but efficiency matters. This plan integrates video swim drills and stroke-specific endurance sessions so you’ll glide through the lake and arrive fresh for T1.
The 90 km bike course highlights the Álava region’s rolling terrain and scenic towns, with 500m of elevation gain. Progressive endurance rides, power-based intervals, and hill-strength sessions prepare you for sustained pacing, ensuring you can ride steady through smooth gradients and enjoy the beauty of the Camino de Santiago without fading late.
Finally, the 21 km run course through downtown Vitoria-Gasteiz is flat, fast, and packed with cheering crowds. With structured VO₂ max intervals, threshold work, and mobility-focused strength training, you’ll hold form, stay efficient, and finish strong on the historic Plaza España.
