More Information & Inspiration (January 2026)
Here are several articles related to triathlon training and planning for seniors that I came across over the past month. Several of these from this month’s finds should also inspire you to become and stay fit.
Information
TRAINING & RACING
Strength training becomes more—not less—important as we age, but it must be done with intention. This article breaks down what actually matters for triathletes over 50, separating age-smart strength work from outdated or risky approaches that can undermine consistency and performance.
NUTRITION & HYDRATION
Hydration is not just about how much you drink, but when you drink it. This article explains how fluid timing before, during, and after training affects endurance, recovery, and performance—especially for older athletes who may be more sensitive to dehydration.
Both glutathione and NAC are frequently recommended to support recovery, immunity, and cellular health, but they work in different ways. This evidence-based comparison helps clarify which option may be more appropriate depending on your training load, age-related needs, and overall health goals.
REST & RECOVERY
Poor sleep can quietly sabotage training, recovery, and motivation. This article explores how specific stretching routines can help calm the nervous system, improve mobility, and promote deeper, more restorative sleep for active adults.
Inspiration
Registration is now open for the 2027 World Masters Games in Kansai, Japan, featuring triathlon, duathlon, and aquathlon events. For senior endurance athletes looking for a global goal and a once-in-a-lifetime experience, this is an opportunity worth considering.
