Train Smart for Full Distance Triathlon Australia – Designed for Senior Triathletes 60+
Ready to conquer the legendary Full Distance Triathlon Australia in Port Macquarie? This 36-week evidence-based training plan is specifically designed for senior triathletes aged 60+ who want to train smart, stay healthy, and perform strong on race day.
The race includes a 3.8km swim in the Hastings River (featuring the iconic weir crossing), a 180km bike through rolling wine country and coastal hills, and a 42.2km run along Town Beach and Settlement Point—finishing in front of a roaring crowd at Town Green.
To excel on this course, you need more than basic endurance. You need a focused, age-appropriate plan that supports strength, cardiovascular health, and joint durability.
