Plan Description
The 36-Week Advanced Training Blueprint is strategically designed to match the unique demands of the Half Distance Triathlon Monterrey—an urban race featuring warm swim waters, a fast bike course, and a flat, high-temperature run.
Swim Preparation:
With Monterrey’s swim held in the clear and warm Santa Lucía River (77°F / 25°C), this plan’s early focus on swim technique ensures you're efficient and comfortable in open water. The progression allows you to adapt to race-day temps and visibility, preparing you for a smooth Rolling Start in a confined course.
Bike Course Readiness:
The flat, fast 90 km ride on the Constitution Freeway is ideal for sustained speed and power—both of which are key components of this plan. Training includes Endurance Aerobic Mile Training, VO2 Max Intervals, and Power Sprints, building the muscular endurance and sustained output required to take advantage of the fast course with minimal elevation.
Run Course Strategy:
The flat, paved course in Monterrey—with potential heat challenges (up to 89°F / 32°C)—requires efficient pacing and heat adaptation. This program boosts your aerobic capacity and anaerobic threshold, helping you maintain strong pacing even in warm conditions. Frequent aid stations every kilometer make hydration manageable, but this plan ensures you're heat-adapted and mentally prepped through long brick workouts and race-simulation runs.
Progressive Load with Smart Recovery:
Following a 3/1 training rhythm, the plan builds from a 9.5-hour base to a peak of 14.5 hours per week. This gradual, structured increase supports sustainable gains while the recovery weeks reduce risk of overtraining—essential for racing strong through Monterrey’s heat and urban terrain.
Strength and Speed Optimization:
Beginning with functional strength training and progressing into power-specific intervals, the plan develops overall athleticism, making stair exits, transitions, and late-race fatigue easier to manage. Intervals like ATP-PC sprints and climbing accelerations simulate race surges and terrain variations—perfect for Monterrey’s bridge sections and final push to the finish.
Result:
You’ll arrive in Monterrey race-ready—fast, heat-adapted, and confident in all three disciplines. This training blueprint doesn't just prepare you to finish—it equips you to thrive and perform at your personal best.
