The Half Distance Triathlon Acapulco Mexico presents a unique challenge: a warm ocean swim in the scenic waters of Playa Majahua, a hilly bike course with over 1,600 meters of elevation gain, and a hot, flat run demanding heat resilience and hydration strategy. Our Advanced 44-Week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is engineered to prepare you for every detail of this race.

Here’s how this plan gets you race-day ready:

✅ Swim-Ready Conditioning
Our swim workouts are crafted to sharpen technique, build upper-body strength, and improve endurance in warm water. You'll be prepared for the rolling ocean start and confident navigating the currents off Marina Cabo Marqués.

✅ Crush the Climbs on the Bike
With over 600 meters of climbing right from the start, you'll need serious power. Our plan incorporates progressive strength training and targeted VO2 Max and Anaerobic Power sessions to ensure you conquer every incline and descend with control along Viaducto Diamante.

✅ Run Strong in the Heat
The two-loop flat run on Av de las Palmas can be deceptively tough under 88°F (31°C) heat. You'll train for this with heat-adapted run sessions, pacing strategies, and frequent fueling and hydration practice, so you're fully dialed in for the final leg.

✅ Structured for Peak Performance
With a 12-week base phase (no prior base training required!) followed by a 32-week progression using a 3:1 build/recovery structure, you’ll peak perfectly for race day. Weekly volume builds from 9.5 to 14 hours, ensuring consistent, sustainable gains.

✅ Ideal for Amateur Advanced Athletes
This plan is specifically designed for athletes like you—serious, motivated, and aiming for your next big leap. We blend functional strength training early on with a transition to traditional resistance work so you're strong, stable, and resilient.

✅ Train Smart With “B” and “C” Race Strategy
You'll rehearse nutrition, pacing, and transitions through strategic tune-up races, so race day in Acapulco feels familiar, not frantic.

✅ Science-Backed Periodization
Built around Endurance Base, VO2 Max, Anaerobic Threshold, Anaerobic Power, and ATP-PC systems, you’ll tap into every energy system needed to race at your best.

You're not in this alone. With personalized email coach support, you'll have expert guidance every step of the way.
