Plan Description

Train Smarter for the Half Distance Ruidoso Triathlon: Conquer Elevation, Weather, and Terrain with Confidence - Before beginning a 4 to 6 week base is required as you'll have anaerobic threshold training in week one.


This 24-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan is engineered for you. With challenging climbs, high-altitude conditions, and temperature swings from cool morning starts to warm mid-day finishes, this plan targets the real demands of race day in Ruidoso, New Mexico.


✅ Swim Preparedness for Grindstone Lake
Train in cool water simulations with structured swim workouts and open-water technique drills. The plan includes progressive swim sets and sighting practice, helping you stay efficient and composed in the lake's crisp, clear waters.

✅ Climb-Ready Cycling Workouts
With long sustained climbs toward Hondo, the bike course demands strength and endurance. This plan builds power with hill repeats, tempo rides, and functional threshold power (FTP) sessions—designed to help you pace smartly and handle elevation without burnout.

✅ Mountain Terrain Run Training
The Ruidoso run course winds through undulating mountain roads and neighborhoods. Your training includes hill-specific run intervals, endurance bricks, and trail-like efforts to mimic terrain and elevate your run economy at altitude.

✅ Weather-Responsive Adaptation
Prepare for a temperature range from 59°F to 82°F. Strategic training blocks teach your body to perform in fluctuating conditions, including heat-acclimation sessions and early-morning workouts that simulate race-day starts.

✅ Train with Confidence, Reduce Injury Risk
Structured on a 3:1 cycle (3 weeks of building, 1 week of recovery), the plan enhances aerobic development, avoids overtraining, and supports long-term performance gains.
