Plan Description
This structured six-month Half Distance Triathlon training plan is specifically designed to help you master the swim, bike, and run under the island’s unique demands—from 84°F ocean waters to breezy coastal roads and a sun-soaked, flat run course.
🏁 Base Training Requirement
Before starting this plan, you should have a solid fitness foundation:
✔️ Comfortably complete an Olympic-distance triathlon (1.5K swim, 40K bike, 10K run)
✔️ Train consistently 6–8 hours per week for at least 4–6 weeks
✔️ Be injury-free and ready to commit to structured training
🏊 Swim Preparedness
The warm, crystal-clear waters of Cozumel demand efficient, confident swimming. This plan includes open-water skills, sighting drills, and race-pace sessions to prepare you for the self-seeded rolling start and smooth 1.9KM swim.
🚴 Bike Strength & Speed
With Cozumel’s flat and fast 90KM course, power and wind-resistance are key. You'll train with sustained tempo efforts, cadence work, and wind simulation rides to build strength and mental focus for steady pacing around the island.
🏃 Run Smart, Finish Strong
The 21KM two-loop run passes iconic Cozumel landmarks under tropical sun. Long runs, heat adaptation strategies, hydration planning, and pace discipline workouts are built into your schedule to help you finish strong in warm, humid conditions.
