Plan Description
The 6-Month Half Distance Intermediate Training Plan is designed to guide athletes from a solid Olympic-distance foundation to peak readiness for the demands of the Half Distance Triathlon in Monterrey, Mexico. With a challenging course set against the backdrop of a vibrant city and a finish line at the historic Macroplaza, this race demands both physical conditioning and strategic preparation.
Targeted Swim Training for Urban River Conditions
Monterrey’s swim course takes place in the Santa Lucía River, known for its clear visibility and warm temperatures. The plan includes:
Open-water simulation workouts
Drills for sighting, pacing, and breathing control
These workouts prepare you for a rolling start format and help you stay relaxed and efficient in an urban swim setting.
Progressive Endurance Development
The program begins with approximately 8 hours of weekly training, gradually increasing to around 12 hours per week. This carefully structured progression emphasizes building aerobic endurance, the key to handling:
A 90km bike leg on flat, high-speed roads with occasional bridge climbs.
A flat 21.1km run through closed city streets in potentially hot conditions.
Gradual load increases reduce injury risk while enhancing your body's capacity to perform over long distances.
Integrated Brick Workouts
The program incorporates regular brick sessions (bike-to-run training) to improve your transition skills and simulate the muscular fatigue you'll experience on race day. These sessions train both your body and mind to handle the shift from cycling to running, a crucial factor for success on a fast, flat course like Monterrey’s.
Performance-Focused Speed Work
To enhance race-day performance, the plan includes:
VO2 max intervals to improve cardiovascular capacity
Anaerobic threshold training to boost sustainable speed
Endurance track sessions to build mental focus and pacing discipline
These sessions are essential for racing efficiently in hot temperatures, where energy management becomes critical.
Purpose-Built for Race Conditions
With aid stations every kilometer and a car-free course, Monterrey allows for strategic pacing. This plan helps you develop the stamina and pacing awareness needed to race smartly and confidently in such a well-supported environment.
