Plan Description
The Half Distance Triathlon Monterrey is a fast, scenic race with a warm swim in the Santa Lucía river, a smooth, flat bike course along the Constitution Freeway, and a closed, paved run course through the heart of the city. This six-month beginner-friendly training plan is specifically designed to help you confidently tackle each segment of the race—no matter your starting point.
🏊♂️ Swim Preparedness for Santa Lucía River
The swim takes place in a calm, man-made river with excellent visibility and warm water (77°F/25°C). This plan includes progressive swim workouts that build comfort, endurance, and technique. You'll also be introduced to open-water skills and tempo training, helping you navigate race-day conditions with ease.
🚴 Tailored Bike Training for Monterrey’s Fast Course
Monterrey’s bike course is flat and fast, perfect for beginners but still demanding sustained effort over 90 km. This plan gradually increases your cycling volume and introduces structured intervals that boost aerobic fitness and power output—preparing you for the smooth, expressway ride.
🏃 Run Training for a Steady, Paved Finish
The closed run course is flat, well-marked, and features frequent aid stations—ideal for pacing and hydration. Your training includes endurance runs, interval sessions, and race-pace efforts to develop the stamina needed for the final push through Monterrey’s urban landscape.
💪 Strength and Conditioning for Race Durability
Strength sessions are built into the plan to improve form, reduce injury risk, and support your overall triathlon performance. Each session includes video guidance to ensure proper technique, especially valuable for beginners.
📈 Progressive Weekly Load
Starting at just 7 hours per week and gradually increasing to 12 hours, the plan ensures you adapt safely while steadily improving fitness. Key workouts include VO2 max and threshold sessions to increase speed and endurance without overwhelming your body.
