Plan Description

Dreaming of crossing the finish line in Cozumel, where turquoise waters, flat roads, and vibrant streets create the ultimate Half Distance Triathlon experience? Our 36-week beginner-focused Half Distance Triathlon training plan is built to get you there—strong, confident, and race-day ready.

🏊 Swim: The plan begins with a 12-week Base Training Phase that includes swim drills with guided video instruction, helping you glide through Cozumel’s warm 84°F (29°C) ocean with ease. You’ll develop open water confidence and pacing skills ideal for the self-seeded rolling start and current-friendly conditions.

🚴 Bike: Cozumel’s flat, fast 90KM loop demands steady endurance and smart effort management. This plan progressively builds from 7 to 12 hours per week, targeting aerobic fitness and leg strength through RPE- and heart-rate-based rides. You’ll train specifically for the demands of sustained flat-terrain effort in warm, humid conditions.

🏃 Run: The spectator-packed 21KM double-loop course along Cozumel’s iconic waterfront and downtown plaza requires both stamina and mental toughness. Our program includes tempo runs, brick sessions, and hydration strategy guidance to help you thrive on race day—without burning out in the tropical heat.

✨ Key Benefits:
✔️ Beginner-friendly – no prior triathlon experience required
✔️ 12-week base phase to build a strong foundation
✔️ Progressive 24-week Half Distance Triathlon build-up
✔️ Swim drills & strength workouts with video instruction
✔️ Brick sessions to master transitions
✔️ RPE & heart rate-based training for smarter pacing
✔️ Personalized coach support via email

💡 This plan is perfect if you're new to triathlon and serious about finishing strong in Cozumel.

🌟 Your journey to the Half Distance Triathlon starts here. Whether it’s your first finish line or your next big challenge, our proven training plan—backed by expert coaching support—will guide you every step of the way.

✅ Commit to your Cozumel triathlon journey today and train with purpose, precision, and confidence.
