Plan Description

Tackle the Half Distance Triathlon in Acapulco, Mexico with confidence using this expertly designed 36-week beginner training plan—crafted specifically to help you thrive in hot weather, hilly terrain, and fast-paced race environments.

🏊 Swim Smart in Playa Majahua
With warm ocean waters averaging 84°F (29°C), Acapulco’s swim requires heat adaptation, technique efficiency, and mental focus. Our plan starts with a 12-week foundation phase, where you'll build confidence through video-based swim drills, structured technique sessions, and open water simulation workouts—perfect for handling Acapulco’s rolling start and saltwater conditions.

🚴 Power Through Acapulco’s Rolling Bike Course
This 90 km (56-mile) bike leg begins with a challenging 600-meter climb, followed by fast descents on Viaducto Diamante. Our plan prepares your legs and lungs with:
✅ Progressive interval workouts to build strength
✅ Targeted endurance rides to handle the full 1600 meters of elevation gain
✅ Brick sessions for smooth bike-to-run transitions

🏃 Run Strong Under the Heat
With temperatures hitting 88°F (31°C), the two-loop flat run along Av de las Palmas is a true test of heat tolerance and hydration strategy. You'll train for success with:
✅ Run intervals and pacing workouts tailored to your ability
✅ Hydration strategy sessions built into long runs
✅ Race-day simulation to dial in your gear, nutrition, and pacing

💪 Strength + Recovery = Race-Day Confidence
From Day 1, our plan includes full-body strength training with step-by-step video* guidance, helping you stay injury-free and improve form across all three disciplines. Plus, integrated recovery weeks ensure sustainable growth over 36 weeks.
