Plan Description

Are you a senior triathlete aged 60+ with a solid base of training, ready to take on the epic challenge of the Full Distance Triathlon California? Whether you're chasing a lifelong dream or aiming to improve your next performance, this 24-week triathlon training plan is built specifically for older athletes—balancing smart endurance with injury prevention and sustainable progress.

How This Plan Prepares You for the California Full Distance Triathlon
🌊 Swim Course Preparation
The point-to-point 2.4-mile swim in the American and Sacramento Rivers requires not only endurance but strong open water skills. This plan includes structured open water simulation workouts, pacing drills, and expert swim technique videos to build your efficiency and confidence for a smooth start near Township 9 Park and a strong finish by the Tower Bridge.

🚴 Bike Course Readiness
The 112-mile flat, fast, two-loop ride through Sacramento’s farm-to-fork heartland is ideal for steady pacing and speed. Our plan incorporates power-based intervals, long Zone 2/3 rides, and targeted VO2 max training—ensuring you build the durability and pacing strategy to make the most of this PR-friendly bike course.

🏃 Run Course Conditioning
The flat, two-loop 26.2-mile run along the Sacramento River is spectator-packed and scenic—but late-race fatigue can derail even the most experienced athletes. With brick workouts, run/walk pacing, and neuromuscular coordination drills, you’ll finish strong, whether you're crossing the Tower Bridge or circling the California State Capitol.
