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.
.
✔ Precision Metrics
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.
