Plan Description
This evidence-based training plan is designed for Senior Triathletes aged 60+ training for a full-distance triathlon. Built on principles of physiological adaptation, performance analytics, and periodization, it provides the structure and support to help you race strong and stay healthy.
🏊♂️🚴♂️🏃♂️ Why This Plan Stands Out
✔ Progressive Adaptation
Starts with 12 weeks of foundational endurance, followed by 24 weeks focused on race-specific performance.
✔ Precision Metrics
Training guided by Max Heart Rate (MHR), Functional Threshold Power (FTP), and RPE. Compatible with Garmin and endurance platforms.
✔ Proven Periodization
Uses a 2:1 cycle—two weeks of training followed by one recovery week—to avoid burnout and build sustainable fitness.
