Plan Description
Train Smarter for the Half Distance Triathlon Peru
36-Week Beginner Training Plan for Speed, Strength, and Success
Ready to take on the fast, scenic course of the Half Distance Triathlon Peru? Our 36-week beginner training plan is specifically built for athletes like you—whether you're brand new to the sport or returning with fresh goals. Set in Lima, along the iconic Costa Verde, this event demands smart preparation to handle its flat, coastal terrain and consistent race-day temps near 74°F (24°C). This plan prepares you not just to finish—but to thrive.
Here’s how this plan gives you a competitive edge in Peru:
🏊 Swim Smart at Agua Dulce Beach
Start strong with a 1.2-mile (1.9K) swim in the calm Pacific. We focus your early weeks on technique with guided swim drills and video instruction. You'll develop open water skills, pacing, and efficiency—all essential for the mild 66–70°F (19–21°C) water temps you'll face on race day.
🚴 Bike the Costa Verde with Power and Precision
Peru’s 56-mile (90K) closed-course bike leg is flat and fast. Our plan ramps you up with structured heart rate and RPE-based sessions, building the stamina to hold consistent speed across three loops. Progressive brick workouts prepare you to transition seamlessly into the run—just like on race day.
🏃 Run Strong Along Lima’s Beachfront
The 13.1-mile (21.1K) run course is flat but exposed. With three loops and coastal views, mental focus and pace control are key. We incorporate tempo runs, endurance builds, and strength work to sharpen your run form and mental toughness—perfect for those final miles to the finish at Agua Dulce Beach.
What’s inside the plan:
12-week base phase to build endurance, mobility, and confidence
24-week event-specific phase with weekly volume from 7 to 12 hours
RPE/Heart Rate-based sessions for swim, bike, and run
Strength training with video tutorials
Open water readiness, tempo strategy, and recovery guidance
This isn’t just a training schedule—it’s your roadmap to conquering the Half Distance Triathlon Peru. You’ll know what to do every day, how to train with purpose, and when to rest and rebuild.
