Plan Description
The Half Distance Ruidoso Triathlon offers breathtaking views and bold challenges — a cool, high-altitude lake swim, a hilly 56-mile bike through mountain roads toward Hondo, and a 13.1-mile run across neighborhoods and forest-lined paths in Midtown Ruidoso. This unique course demands more than general preparation — it calls for a structured, terrain-specific training plan that builds endurance, strength, and mental resilience.
✅ Tailored to the Demands of Ruidoso’s Terrain
This 36-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan is specifically designed to prepare you for the elevation shifts, rolling hills, and high-altitude environment of Ruidoso. Progressive bike workouts build leg strength and climbing confidence — perfect for tackling the out-and-back ride with significant climbs.
🏊 Swim-Ready for Cold, Clear Waters
Start with 12 weeks of skill-focused swim training, including guided drills and video instruction. You'll develop efficient technique and confidence for the 1.2-mile swim in the crisp waters of Grindstone Lake — even if you're new to open-water racing.
🚴 Climb Strong, Ride Smooth
The plan includes interval sessions, long endurance rides, and intensity-based sessions (using heart rate or RPE), so your body adapts to the elevation and length of Ruidoso’s demanding bike course.
🏃 Run Steady Through the Mountains
You’ll progress through tempo runs, easy jogs, and strength-based intervals — all carefully balanced to reduce injury risk while preparing you for the varied terrain of the scenic 13.1-mile run through Ruidoso’s neighborhoods and trails.
💪 Smart Strength and Brick Training
Strength sessions with video guidance* help you build core stability and prevent overuse injuries. Integrated brick workouts simulate race-day transitions, ensuring your legs feel prepared off the bike.
📧 Personal Coaching Support Included
With personalized email coach support, you're never training alone. Ask questions, adjust for your schedule, and stay accountable throughout the 36 weeks.
This isn’t just a beginner plan — it’s your path to Half Distance Triathlon success in Ruidoso. You’ll build fitness, race-day confidence, and the mental toughness to cross that finish line strong.
