You are not running out of time to perform. You are choosing to use time more intelligently.
This 44-week Senior 60+ Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan gives you the runway to build fitness patiently, preserve strength, keep meaningful intensity in your training, and prepare for Málaga without forcing development into a compressed schedule.
1 — EARN THE FOUNDATION
The first 12 weeks begin at approximately 4 hours per week and gradually build toward 10.5. Aerobic endurance, mobility, movement quality, foundational strength, and technique across all three disciplines come first.
Returning after time away? That is exactly what this phase is designed to accommodate.
2 — KEEP PERFORMANCE IN THE PROGRAM
Being over 60 is not a reason to remove speed.
The following 32 weeks progress toward approximately 12.5 hours at peak volume and incorporate VO2 max intervals, pacing work, brick sessions, neuromuscular training, and race-specific endurance.
Resistance training provides valuable stimulus for muscle retention, durability, movement quality, and bone loading. Heart rate, power, and RPE give you clear intensity targets instead of asking you to guess how hard each session should be.
A 2:1 work-to-recovery rhythm places recovery frequently enough to support consistency across a long preparation cycle.
3 — REHEARSE BEFORE MÁLAGA
C races create low-pressure opportunities to test equipment, transitions, pacing, and fueling. B races provide a stronger rehearsal before your A race.
The Race Predictor Calculator can establish performance reference points as training develops. The Race Pace Strategy Calculator helps organize your effort across the 1.9 km swim, 90 km bike, and two-loop 21.1 km run. The Triathlon Fueling Calculator helps turn nutrition from an assumption into a plan.
Technique-driven swim drills, device-compatible workouts, and personalized email coach support add guidance when a session, recovery decision, or race-week choice needs more context.
4 — ARRIVE AS THE ATHLETE YOU HAVE BUILT
Forty-four weeks is not about training forever. It is about giving endurance, strength, speed, coordination, recovery, and race execution enough time to develop together.
You are still capable of setting meaningful athletic goals. Málaga deserves preparation that treats them that way.
