Train Smarter, Not Harder

You’ll refine your stroke with guided swim drills, improve aerobic capacity through zone-based running and cycling workouts, and develop essential endurance—all without the need for prior experience.
Your Journey to the Finish Line Starts Here
Following the foundation phase, a 24-week Half Distance-specific build will gradually increase your training volume from 7 to 12 hours per week. 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.
