Plan Description
This 36-week evidence-based training plan is built specifically for Senior Triathletes aged 60+ preparing for the Full Distance Triathlon in Copenhagen. With its unique combination of progressive endurance, race-specific preparation, and injury prevention, this plan helps you race strong across Copenhagen’s stunning course—from the calm waters of Amager Strandpark to the vibrant streets near Nyhavn.
💡 Why This Plan Works for the Copenhagen Full Distance Triathlon
✔ Tailored for Senior Athletes 60+
Built around age-specific needs like joint preservation, muscle maintenance, and efficient recovery.
✔ Progressive Periodization
A 2:1 structure (two training weeks followed by one recovery week) ensures sustainable growth—essential for the 3.8 km swim, 180 km bike, and 42.2 km run.
✔ Endurance First, Then Speed
Phase 1 (12 weeks) builds your aerobic base and neuromuscular coordination—key for pacing the lagoon swim and staying strong on long rides.
Phase 2 (24 weeks) adds race-specific workouts, tempo efforts, and open-water sessions—ideal for Copenhagen’s fast, spectator-rich course.
✔ Precision-Based Training
Workouts guided by Max Heart Rate, Functional Threshold Power, and Rate of Perceived Effort—fully compatible with Garmin and major endurance apps.
✔ Bone and Strength Health
Weekly resistance workouts help prevent age-related muscle loss and support long-term durability—crucial for holding form during the four-loop urban run.
✔ Smart Intensity Control
A polarized intensity model protects against overtraining while still building power for Copenhagen’s rolling terrain and late-race demands.
✔ Open Water Confidence
Specific drills and swim biomechanical cues prepare you for the single-loop lagoon swim—often calm, but mentally demanding due to its length.
✔ Tech-Ready Tools
This plan leverages HRV, pacing data, and power-to-weight metrics to ensure you're race-day ready—with smart swim integration for live feedback.
🎯 Perfect for Senior Triathletes Seeking Performance and Longevity
Whether you’re chasing a personal best or your first Full Distance Triathlon finish, this plan empowers you to train smart, recover fully, and arrive in Copenhagen ready to perform.
