The Arizona Full Distance Triathlon course is as iconic as it is demanding—featuring a cool, calm 2.4-mile swim in Tempe Town Lake, a fast and scenic 112-mile bike across the desert with 1,400 ft of total elevation, and a flat, PR-friendly 26.2-mile run that loops through Tempe and Papago Park. To meet the specific demands of this race, you need more than just grit—you need a structured, age-smart training plan tailored to senior athletes.
