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.

👟 Tailored for Senior Triathletes
💪 Strength & Bone Health
Weekly resistance workouts help maintain bone density, prevent muscle loss, and support joint health.

❤️ Smart Endurance Training
Long, steady aerobic sessions (Zone 2/3) build cardiovascular fitness with low wear and tear.

🔥 VO2 Max & Speed Work
Occasional intervals maintain aerobic power and efficiency without overtraining.

🧠 Neuromuscular Activation
Drills improve coordination, reaction time, and smooth transitions.


🗓️ 36-Week Training Structure
Phase 1: Endurance & Neuromuscular Priming (12 Weeks)
Develops aerobic base and cellular energy systems

Enhances swim technique with proprioceptive drills

Introduces VO2 max work for early cardiovascular gains

Phase 2: Race-Specific Performance (24 Weeks)
Increases volume with tempo runs, long rides, and open-water swims

Adds threshold and VO2 intervals to improve stamina

Peaks at 16 hours/week using a polarized intensity model

🚀 Performance Optimization Features
Swim Biomechanics – Improve symmetry, catch, and efficiency

Data-Driven Workouts – Use HRV, power-to-weight, and pacing tools

Structured Strength Training – Build durability and muscle efficiency

Smart Swim Integration – Compatible with wearable tech for feedback
