Your experience is an asset. Give it a plan that respects recovery while keeping your competitive goals in sight.
This 24-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan prepares experienced triathletes aged 60 and over for Venice-Jesolo, Italy, with progressive endurance, strength training, and purposeful speed work.
The course: coastal swimming, sustained speed
The Half Distance Triathlon Venice-Jesolo begins with a 1.9 km swim in the Adriatic Sea at Lido di Jesolo. A flat 90 km bike course takes you through the Venetian landscape before a flat 21.1 km run along Jesolo’s beachfront. This fast setting rewards controlled effort: riding too hard can leave you paying for it during the half marathon.
Build fitness you can carry to the finish
Weekly training progresses from 7.5 to a peak of 12.5 hours. Two build weeks followed by one recovery week give you regular opportunities to absorb the work. Low-intensity endurance sessions develop the aerobic efficiency needed for sustained cycling and running, while heart rate and power targets help you manage effort rather than chase speed.
For the sea swim, video-supported drills refine stroke efficiency so you can cover the distance with less wasted energy. Later VO₂ max and threshold sessions develop aerobic capacity and speed, supporting your ability to sustain purposeful race efforts. Transition drills and neuromuscular exercises sharpen coordination as you move between disciplines.
Strength remains part of the preparation
Integrated resistance training supports muscle retention and bone health. Senior-specific strength and mobility work helps you maintain the durability needed for consistent training across all three sports.
Turn preparation into a race-day approach
Included with your plan are three race-readiness calculators. Use the Race Predictor Calculator to estimate performance, the Race Pace Strategy Calculator to organize swim, bike, and run execution, and the Triathlon Fueling Calculator to build your fueling approach. Together, they help you connect your training with realistic pacing and nutrition decisions.
Start with the right foundation: swim 1,500 meters comfortably, bike 30 miles steadily, and run 5 miles consistently.
