Plan Description
Get race-ready for the Half Distance Puerto Rico Triathlon with a scientifically designed 36-week advanced training plan built to elevate your performance across San Juan’s tropical terrain, ocean swim, coastal bike, and historic run course.
This comprehensive plan begins with a 12-week foundational phase, followed by a 24-week progressive Half Distance Triathlon training regimen, optimized specifically for High Performance Amateur Athletes seeking peak race-day performance.
Using a 3:1 training cycle (three weeks of intensity, one week of recovery), the plan starts with a manageable 9.5-hour training week, building up to a peak of 14.5 hours. This structure ensures consistent growth, recovery, and injury prevention — ideal for tackling Puerto Rico's challenging swim, bike, and run.
Swim – Build Technique & Efficiency
Prepare for the 1.2-mile swim in Condado Lagoon’s warm, protected waters with sessions focused on technique refinement, body position, and open water efficiency — essential for navigating the tropical sea conditions with confidence.
Bike – Strengthen for Hills & Headwinds
The 56-mile bike along Puerto Rico’s northern coastline to Dorado includes short but demanding climbs and potential wind exposure. You’ll be ready with:
Climbing acceleration intervals
Anaerobic power training
ATP-PC sprint sessions to build explosive strength for elevation gains and surges.
Run – Endure the Heat & Historic Hills
The 13.1-mile run through Old San Juan’s cobbled streets and hilly terrain demands stamina and smart pacing. This plan enhances your run with:
VO2 max intervals
Anaerobic threshold workouts
Endurance mile sessions to keep you strong through the final loop under the Caribbean sun.
Integrated Strength & Recovery
Functional strength training transitions into traditional workouts, improving durability and reducing injury risk — vital for the 85°F (29°C) race-day heat. Strategic recovery weeks allow adaptation and long-term progress without burnout.
Whether you're chasing a personal best or aiming to conquer a new challenge, this plan will transform your endurance, power, and confidence. 🌊🚴♂️🏃♀️
Train smart. Race strong. Dominate the Half Distance Puerto Rico Triathlon.
