Why Train with This Plan for San Juan?
This plan is more than just a schedule—it's a strategic journey, designed to meet the unique demands of racing in San Juan’s dry heat, altitude, and high-speed course profile. Starting with a 12-week base phase, you’ll build aerobic endurance, muscular strength, and sport-specific skill to lay the groundwork for performance. Whether you're new to structured training or looking to elevate your results, this phase gets you race-ready from the ground up.
Strong Athletes Start Strong
We emphasize early strength development to help you conquer the bike leg’s sustained efforts and finish the run strong. By week 7, you'll integrate VO₂ interval sessions and swimming technique refinement, prepping you for speed in the calm waters of Dique Ullum and power on San Juan’s fast bike course.
Progressive and Purposeful
From week 13, you’ll transition into race-specific preparation—starting at 7 hours of weekly training and building to 12.5. This 24-week phase targets every key performance metric: aerobic endurance, tempo control, open-water swim efficiency, brick workouts, and pacing strategy—all aligned with San Juan’s terrain and climate.
