Training for the Full Distance Triathlon in Tallinn requires a smart, structured approach—especially for athletes 60 and over. This 36-week plan is built to match the demands of Tallinn’s unique course: a calm freshwater swim, a windy countryside ride, and a cobbled historic marathon. Every workout is backed by science, carefully periodized, and tailored for senior triathletes aiming for a strong, healthy finish.
