Plan Description

This Full Distance Triathlon training plan is specifically crafted to prepare you for the demanding Full Distance Triathlon Ottawa Canada. Designed for senior triathletes aged 60 and over, this plan combines scientific training principles with smart periodization to help you race strong, stay healthy, and perform your best on race day.

๐ŸŠโ€โ™‚๏ธ The swim covers a 3.8 km (2.4-mile) loop in the refreshing Ottawa River, with ideal water temperatures averaging 70ยฐF (21ยฐC). The plan builds your swim endurance and technique, incorporating drills that enhance efficiency and reduce fatigue.

๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธ The bike segment is a 180 km (112-mile) course across 2.75 loops on traffic-free roads. You will develop endurance and power through progressive long rides and precision training based on Functional Threshold Power (FTP), helping you tackle varied terrain and maintain steady pacing throughout the ride.

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ The marathon run is a flat, 42.2 km (26.2-mile) route through Ottawaโ€™s city center. The plan uses targeted tempo runs and aerobic conditioning to build stamina and maintain strong running form despite accumulated fatigue from the swim and bike.
