Plan Description
The Full Distance Triathlon Lake Placid is a bold and inspiring challenge. Athletes face a 2.4-mile swim in the calm, cable-lined waters of Mirror Lake, a demanding 112-mile bike ride through the Adirondacks with nearly 8,000 feet of elevation gain—including the thrilling Keene Descent and Papa Bear Hill—and a 26.2-mile marathon featuring rolling terrain through Lake Placid Village and River Road. With fluctuating elevation, cool July temperatures, and race-day fatigue, a strategic and age-appropriate plan is critical.
💡 This 44-week Full Distance Triathlon Training Plan is specifically designed for senior athletes aged 60 and up, and it prepares you to meet the unique demands of Lake Placid with confidence and resilience.
✅ Gradual, Structured Progression: The two-phase system builds endurance safely. The 12-week Base Phase focuses on aerobic fitness, mobility, and technique—crucial for the steady swim and early-season strength. The 32-week Full Distance Phase develops endurance, power, and pacing—ideal for the hills and distance ahead.
✅ Hill-Ready Strength: 96 resistance sessions improve leg strength and joint health, supporting you through Lake Placid’s challenging bike and run elevation.
✅ Cold-Water Swim Confidence: 166 swim workouts include open-water skills and form-focused drills, helping you stay efficient in Mirror Lake’s 72°F waters—even with a wetsuit.
✅ Bike Stamina for Climbs and Descents: Over 185 hours of bike-specific sessions build sustainable power and handling—essential for technical descents and steep ascents like Papa Bear.
✅ Marathon Preparedness Under Fatigue: The run plan includes 122 heart-rate and power-based sessions, fine-tuned for pacing, recovery, and durability on rolling terrain.
✅ Race-Day Ready: Smart device-compatible sessions use Heart Rate, Power, and RPE to individualize your training while tracking improvements.
