Preparing for the demands of the Half Distance Triathlon in Los Cabos requires more than general fitness. This 44-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan is built specifically for you—an athlete over 60—so you arrive prepared for warm water, rolling terrain, and sustained heat.

How This Plan Prepares You for a Half Distance Triathlon
