Plan Description
Training for the Half Distance Triathlon in Acapulco, Mexico means preparing for hot weather, tough hills, and a fast, flat finish. This 44-week intermediate triathlon training plan is engineered to get you fully race-ready—whether you're stepping up from shorter races or chasing a new personal best.
🌊 Swim Preparedness – Start your journey with confidence in the warm, tropical waters of Playa Majahua. Our plan incorporates open water swim simulations, drills, and endurance sets that mimic the race-day conditions of a 1.9 km (1.2-mile) rolling start swim. You'll gain comfort navigating ocean currents and practicing sighting, so you’re calm and controlled from the first stroke.
🚴 Crush the Climbs & Descents – The 90 km (56-mile) bike course opens with a sharp 600-meter climb and a thrilling descent through Viaducto Diamante. We’ve built in progressive hill training, threshold intervals, and long tempo rides to build the strength, control, and stamina you need for the 1,600 meters of elevation gain. Your legs will be primed to handle the ups—and recover fast on the downs.
🏃 Run Strong in the Heat – The 21 km (13.1-mile) run along Av de las Palmas is flat but hot. Our plan includes heat adaptation strategies, zone 2 endurance runs, brick workouts, and hydration practice, ensuring you can stay strong and steady even at 88°F (31°C). Learn how to pace for success and fuel like a pro.
