Train Smarter, Not Harder
This plan begins with a 12-week base phase focused on building foundational strength, cardiovascular fitness, and technical efficiency.

You’ll tackle endurance-focused bike rides through simulated desert terrain, run intervals designed for race pace mastery, and transition to open-water swim sessions to mimic the pristine conditions of Dique Ullum. Each session is purpose-driven, ensuring you arrive in San Juan physically prepared and mentally confident.
