Plan Description

Take on the vibrant course of the Half Distance Triathlon Cozumel Mexico with a 36-week training plan built to match every challenge this race throws at you—starting with warm ocean waters, a flat and fast bike leg, and a spectator-packed run through historic Cozumel.

🏁 Why This Plan Works for Cozumel:
From the calm, 84°F (29°C) sea swim to the flat 90KM bike around the island and two-lap run along Cozumel’s iconic coastline, your body needs smart preparation—not just endurance, but adaptability to heat, pacing, and race-day execution. That’s exactly what this plan delivers.

✅ Build a Strong Base (Weeks 1–12)
Whether you're returning to racing or stepping up to a new distance, this training plan starts with a 12-week base phase to gradually increase your aerobic capacity and durability. No prior high mileage needed—just commitment and consistency.
✔️ Aerobic conditioning from scratch
✔️ Early focus on form, strength, and movement quality
✔️ Swimming technique development for open water confidence

🔥 Train Specifically for the Demands of Cozumel (Weeks 13–36)
Enter the 24-week Half Distance Triathlon specific phase with targeted sessions:
✔️ Structured brick workouts to simulate Cozumel's flat bike-to-run transition
✔️ Interval bike and run workouts tailored by Heart Rate or Power
✔️ Progressive swim sessions that mimic the island’s open water swim
✔️ Weekly strength maintenance to stay injury-resistant

📈 Training load ramps up from 7 hours/week to ~12.5 hours/week, aligning perfectly with the endurance demands of race day. You’ll hit your peak ready to perform with confidence in every discipline.
