Set along the breathtaking Pacific coastline of Lima, the Half Distance Triathlon Peru offers an unforgettable race experience on one of South America's most scenic and flat triathlon courses. With its calm 1.2-mile (1.9K) swim in the protected waters of Agua Dulce Beach, a fast 56-mile (90K) bike ride on the traffic-free Costa Verde highway, and a 13.1-mile (21.1K) beachfront run with ocean views, this race is built for speed—and with the right preparation, it’s yours for the taking.
Why This Training Plan Works for the Half Distance Triathlon Peru
Our Beginner’s Six-Month Half Distance Triathlon Plan is designed specifically for first-time long-course athletes aiming to thrive on Peru’s flat and fast terrain. You’ll build the fitness, confidence, and endurance needed to race efficiently in Lima’s mild 74°F (24°C) conditions.
✅ Structured for First-Timers: The plan begins with a manageable 7-hour training week and gradually builds to 12 hours by week 19, so your body adapts without burnout.
✅ Progressive Performance Building: You’ll steadily develop endurance and speed using targeted VO2 max intervals and anaerobic threshold workouts—ideal for the high-speed demands of this course.
✅ Swim Skills for Calm Waters: Focused swim sessions emphasize form, open-water comfort, and tempo pacing—perfect for mastering the calm, cool waters of Agua Dulce Beach.
✅ Bike & Run Workouts Tuned to You: Each session is based on Rate of Perceived Effort (RPE) and heart rate, helping you train smart for the long, steady efforts required on Peru’s flat coastal bike and run routes.
✅ Strength for Speed and Injury Prevention: Simple, guided strength routines support your swim-bike-run foundation, enhance resilience, and improve overall race-day performance.
