Ready to crush the Half Distance Monterrey Triathlon? This 36-week beginner-friendly training plan is your roadmap to success—and the best part? No prior experience needed. Just bring your commitment, and we’ll guide you every step of the way. 💪
We start off strong with a 12-week foundational phase—think of this as your base camp. You’ll build endurance, get stronger, and fine-tune your swim technique with video drills that’ll help you glide through Monterrey’s crystal-clear Santa Lucía River with confidence. 🏊♂️ Thanks to the warm water and calm conditions, this part of the race is perfect for mastering smooth, efficient strokes early on.
Our bike and run sessions are based on effort (RPE) or heart rate, helping you train smart—not just hard. 📈 That’s key for Monterrey’s fast, flat bike course where pacing and consistency will be your secret weapons. 🚴♀️
Once you’ve nailed the basics, we shift into the 24-week Half Distance Triathlon phase—this is where things get exciting. Starting with 7 hours a week and building up to 12, you’ll take on endurance-building workouts, tempo runs, and even some open-water swim prep to simulate race-day conditions. 🌊
And yes—we’ve got brick workouts too (bike + run combos), so you’ll feel ready for that transition when you hop off the bike and hit the pavement for the run. 🏃♂️ The Monterrey run course is flat, fast, and fully closed to traffic, so all you need to focus on is your rhythm and your finish line moment in the gorgeous Macroplaza. 🎉
Need help with strength? We’ve got you covered with guided strength training sessions—complete with videos to make sure your form is on point. 🏋️♀️ That extra strength will help power you through key course features, like the short stairs out of T2, and keep you strong in the Monterrey heat (expect up to 89°F / 32°C!). ☀️
Bottom line: this plan is built for you. Whether you're brand new or just looking to go the distance, you'll finish this race feeling prepared, powerful, and proud. Let’s do this!
