This Long Distance Triathlon Quebec Canada Training Plan is expertly crafted to prepare you for every demanding aspect of the race, combining endurance, strength, and technique tailored for senior triathletes aged 60 and above. With a challenging 3.8 km swim in the calm waters of Bassin Louise, a grueling 180 km bike course featuring rolling hills and 1,200m elevation gain along the St. Lawrence River, and a marathon run through historic Québec City, this plan ensures you’re ready to tackle the varied terrain and tight cut-off times with confidence.

Here’s how this Long Distance Triathlon Training Plan equips you for race day success:

✅ Gradual Volume Build-Up: Over 44 weeks, the plan progresses from 4 to 15 hours weekly, perfectly matching the endurance demands of the 180 km bike loop and 42.2 km marathon, helping you build stamina without burnout.

✅ Age-Appropriate Strength Training: 96 resistance sessions boost muscle power and bone density, critical for mastering the rolling hills on the bike course and sustaining marathon pace through Québec City’s iconic landmarks.
