Plan Description
At 60+, you bring wisdom, resilience, and discipline that younger athletes are still chasing. Now it’s time to match that mindset with a training plan engineered for precision, strength, and longevity. The Chattanooga Full Distance Triathlon is no ordinary challenge—with a swift 2.4-mile swim in the Tennessee River, a hilly 112-mile ride through the Cumberland Plateau, and a marathon that tests your spirit as much as your stamina. To conquer it, you need more than generic volume—you need a plan built around science, strategy, and the realities of aging athletically. If you've have a solid base of training this plan will take you the rest of the way.
