Plan Description
You’re not just training for any race—you’re preparing for the Santa Cruz Half Distance Triathlon:
🌊 A 1.2-mile ocean swim around the historic Wharf.
🚴♀️ A 56-mile bike ride with 2,500+ ft of elevation along Highway 1’s breathtaking coast.
🏃♂️ A 13.1-mile run on the rugged, scenic West Cliff path.
This course is stunning—but it’s also tough. That’s why we created a 6-Month Santa Cruz Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan that builds you up, step by step, with the power to perform when it matters most.
🚀 What’s Inside This Proven Training Plan?
✅ Structured Progression
Start with 8 hours of weekly training and build to 12—no guesswork, just results. You’ll steadily grow endurance, speed, and strength without overtraining.
✅ Ocean-Ready Swim Prep
Train for race-day reality with open-water focused workouts that build confidence in cooler temps and simulate the iconic swim around the Wharf.
✅ Bike Power & Climbing Strength
Crush the Highway 1 rollers with targeted intervals, long rides, and terrain-specific work that prepares you for real-world race conditions.
✅ Race-Ready Run Conditioning
From tempo runs to long aerobic efforts, you’ll develop the durability to fly across the coast and into the final stretch on Cowell’s Beach.
✅ Brick Workouts That Build Mental Grit
Get used to running strong off the bike with progressive brick sessions designed to sharpen transitions and boost confidence on tired legs.
✅ Speed & Endurance Combo
VO2 max intervals, threshold sets, and track workouts push your limits and elevate your fitness to new heights.
