Plan Description
Full Distance Triathlon Lanzarote – Training Plan for Senior Triathletes 60+
Lanzarote is more than a race—it's a test of will, strength, and endurance. The Full Distance Triathlon Lanzarote features a 3.8km swim through the crystal-clear Atlantic, a demanding 180km bike course across volcanic terrain with 2,549 meters of climbing, and a sun-drenched 42.2km run along coastal paths and villages. Every segment challenges your body and mind. That’s why your preparation matters.
This evidence-based training plan is designed specifically for senior triathletes aged 60 and over. Built on proven endurance science, it helps you train smarter—not harder—for one of the toughest races in the world.
🏊♂️🚴♂️🏃♂️ Why This Plan Works
✔️ Progressive Structure
The 36-week plan begins with 12 weeks of base building, followed by 24 weeks of race-specific work. It gradually increases volume and intensity to reduce injury risk and support long-term gains.
✔️ Smart Training Tools
Workouts are guided by Max Heart Rate (MHR), Functional Threshold Power (FTP), and Rate of Perceived Effort (RPE). The plan is compatible with Garmin, TrainingPeaks, and other endurance platforms.
✔️ Senior-Focused Design
Incorporates weekly strength training to support bone density, joint health, and muscle retention—critical for athletes over 60.
🔥 Performance Highlights
✔️ Zone 2 Endurance to build aerobic capacity with minimal wear and tear
✔️ VO2 Max Intervals to maintain speed and power
✔️ Neuromuscular Drills for smoother transitions and better coordination
✔️ Open Water Preparation to build confidence in race-like swim conditions
✔️ Polarized Intensity model to balance stress and recovery
