Plan Description

If you're a senior triathlete (60+) preparing for the breathtaking Full Distance Triathlon on Sir Bani Yas Island, this 44-week training plan was built with you in mind. Designed specifically for athletes like you, this program aligns perfectly with the demands of racing in Abu Dhabi—turquoise calm waters, smooth yet testing bike terrain, and a fast yet exposed run course.

🌊 Swim-Ready Preparation
The swim course’s crystal-clear, calm waters are ideal for efficient, relaxed strokes—something this plan directly supports through:
✅ 166 structured swim sessions with open-water skills and video-led drills
✅ Emphasis on technique, breathing control, and pacing over long durations
✅ RPE and heart rate-based swim intensity for optimal adaptation

🚴 Dialed-In for the Island’s Bike Course
The 180KM ride around the island ring road is fast—but with some 100m elevation gains to challenge your climbing legs. This plan prepares you with:
✅ 152 bike sessions (185+ hours), including power-based intervals
✅ Hill repeats to simulate the island's inter-connecting climbs
✅ Long aerobic rides to build durability for four looped laps in heat
✅ Smart-device compatible workouts for precise training

🏃 Run Strong When It Counts
Abu Dhabi’s run course is flat but exposed—demanding heat management and mental endurance. You’ll get:
✅ 122 run sessions with heart rate and power-based guidance
✅ Zone 2 work for aerobic strength
✅ High-intensity intervals to maintain speed
✅ Strategic brick workouts to prep for the race-day feel

💪 Built-In Strength for Older Athletes
Staying strong matters more with age. You’ll benefit from:
✅ 96 senior-specific resistance training sessions
✅ Focus on joint integrity, muscle mass, and power output
✅ Programming that supports bone health and movement efficiency

🧠 Smarter Structure, Better Recovery
Designed for your age group, this plan emphasizes recovery and sustainability:
✅ Gradual build from 4 to 15 hours/week
✅ 2:1 training-to-recovery week ratio
✅ Optional tune-up “B” and “C” races to practice pacing, nutrition, and mindset
✅ No prior base training required

📩 Personalized Coach Support Included
You're never training alone. Every plan comes with personalized email coach support—get guidance when you need it most.


👉 Start your journey today with a plan built for your age, your goals, and your race.
