Plan Description
The Florida Full Distance Triathlon presents a unique challenge: ocean swims with currents, fast flats on the bike, and a mentally demanding run under the Florida sun. Our 24-week Full Distance Triathlon training plan, crafted for Senior Triathletes 60+, prepares you to take on every mile with confidence, strategy, and strength. Before beginning you should have a base of training to be able to swim 2K, bike 60miles, and run 10miles. If you've got that, you're ready to proceed.
🏊 Swim Ready for Ocean Conditions
Two-loop swims with beach runs and potential riptides? No problem. Our swim training builds comfort in open water, boosts endurance, and includes technique drills to help you stay efficient—even in choppy surf.
🚴 Crush the Fast, Flat Bike Course
Florida’s bike leg is a speed-lover’s dream. With 88 structured rides, this plan develops steady-state power for long stretches in the aero position. Plus, strategic wind-resistance training simulates race-day conditions so you’re prepared when the breeze kicks up.
🏃 Run Strong to the Finish
That pancake-flat, sun-exposed marathon can break even experienced athletes. Our smart run progression focuses on aerobic development, pacing strategy, and mental grit—crucial for staying strong through both loops on Front Beach Road.
