Training for the Long Distance Triathlon on Sir Bani Yas Island means preparing for a truly unique challenge—pristine Gulf waters, a fast-yet-deceptive bike course, and a mentally demanding race day. This 36-week evidence-based training plan is crafted specifically for Senior Triathletes aged 60+, helping you build endurance, preserve strength, and arrive race-ready for Abu Dhabi’s stunning and varied terrain.
🌊 How This Plan Prepares You for Sir Bani Yas
✔ Calm-Water Swim Conditioning
Prepare for the tranquil yet unfamiliar Arabian Gulf with structured open-water simulation sessions and drills that build confidence and technique in wetsuit-legal conditions (18–22°C).
✔ Island-Wide Bike Course Simulation
With a mix of flat loops and moderate climbs up to 100m, your training includes tempo rides, long endurance sessions, and structured hill intervals to match the 180KM profile—keeping your legs strong and your cadence steady.

The final 42.2KM demands mental and muscular endurance. Our plan uses Zone 2 long runs, tempo work, and brick sessions to ensure you're ready for a consistent, confident finish.
