Plan Description
Train for the Full Distance Triathlon in The Woodlands, Texas – Tailored for Senior Triathletes 60+
Prepare for race day with a focused 36-week training plan built specifically for senior triathletes aged 60+. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or aiming to finish strong at the North American Championship, this program blends science, structure, and smart recovery to help you perform at your peak—safely and confidently.
✅ Why This Plan Works for Senior Triathletes 60+
✔ Progressive Adaptation
The plan starts with 12 weeks of base endurance training and gradually builds over 24 weeks of race-focused work. Each phase supports long-term progress while reducing injury risk.

Train using Max Heart Rate (MHR), Functional Threshold Power (FTP), and Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE). Sync with Garmin and endurance platforms for accurate performance tracking.
✔ Effective Periodization
Uses a 2:1 structure—two weeks of training followed by one week of recovery—to maximize gains without overtraining.
