Plan Description

Racing the Half Distance Triathlon in Acapulco means facing intense heat, a challenging 600-meter climb out of transition, high-speed descents, and a flat but scorching two-loop run along Av de las Palmas. Our 6-Month Half Distance Triathlon Advanced Training Plan is purpose-built to prepare you for every detail of this course — from the warm waters of Playa Majahua to the final steps under the Acapulco sun.

This is not a beginner program — it's designed for committed triathletes who already have a strong training base and are ready to dial in performance, pacing, and race-specific skills.

Here’s how this plan gets you ready to conquer Acapulco:

✅ Course-Specific Endurance Builds
Progressive weekly volume (9.5 to 14 hours) simulates race fatigue and conditions, especially the sustained effort required on Acapulco’s rolling bike terrain and hot coastal run.

✅ Climb-Ready Power Intervals
Targeted bike sessions replicate the early 600-meter climb and total elevation of 1,600 meters, giving your legs the resilience needed to push hard early and still finish strong.

✅ Run Training for the Heat 🌞
Two-loop simulation runs and regular heat-adaptation sessions help condition your body for race-day temps reaching 88°F (31°C), with hydration strategy practice built into every long effort.

✅ Race-Pace Open Water Swim Prep 🌊
High-effort swim sets develop the stamina and mental focus to handle the warm 84°F (29°C) waters of Playa Majahua and a fast rolling start — without blowing up before T1.

✅ Anaerobic Threshold & VO2 Max Training 💨
Sessions that improve your ability to hold speed during the Viaducto Diamante descents and into the flat, fast run course — essential for maintaining pace when it matters most.

✅ Personalized Coach Support via Email
Every purchase includes direct email access to your coach — so you’re never alone in your journey toward peak race day performance.

This training plan isn’t just a schedule — it’s a strategic build that mirrors the challenges of the Half Distance Triathlon Acapulco Mexico, preparing your body and mind to handle the course’s demands with confidence and control.
