Plan Description

Designed specifically for experienced athletes with an established fitness base, this progressive plan builds from 9.5 hours to 14 hours per week. Each training phase is strategically crafted to prepare your body and mind for the specific demands of the Santa Cruz course.

✅ Endurance Aerobic Mile Training
Enhance your base fitness so you can power through the open-water swim and run strong on tired legs along the scenic cliffside paths.

🚴 VO2 Max and Interval Bike Workouts
Crush the rolling bike course with targeted sessions that improve your cardiovascular capacity and build muscular strength for the 2,500+ ft of elevation.

💥 Anaerobic Threshold Sessions
Dial in your pacing and stamina for sustained efforts, especially crucial on the long return stretch from Pigeon Point Lighthouse.

⚡ Anaerobic Power & Sprint Intervals
Train your body to respond explosively—key for hilly segments, passing competitors, and finishing strong along the sand at Cowell’s Beach.

🌊 Race-Specific Conditioning
Train with intention and purpose for the cool-water swim, the coastal winds, and the mental challenge of an out-and-back run that finishes on sand.

If you're aiming for a breakthrough performance in the Half Distance Triathlon in Santa Cruz, this plan is your proven path to success.

✅ Includes personalized email coach support to keep you accountable, adjust for your lifestyle, and answer training questions along the way.

🎯 Ready to commit? Take the first step toward race day confidence and peak performance. Start your Santa Cruz Half Distance Triathlon journey today—with expert support and a plan built for results.
