Plan Description

This 44-week structured Half Distance Triathlon training plan is built to help you perform confidently, reduce injury risk, and arrive at the start line strong, prepared, and focused.

How This Plan Matches Ruidoso’s Demands:
✅ Swim-Specific Training for Altitude & Cold Water
Grindstone Lake's cool temps and elevation require more than just fitness—you need efficiency. Our swim workouts emphasize technique, open-water endurance, and cold water acclimatization, so you can thrive in the two-lap lake swim.

✅ Bike Training for Long Climbs and Rolling Terrain
Ruidoso’s 56-mile ride includes extended climbs toward Hondo. Our plan incorporates aerobic endurance rides, hill-specific intervals, and power development sessions to simulate the elevation gain and prepare your legs to perform on race day.

✅ Run Workouts for Hilly, Uneven Terrain
With a run course winding through mountain villages and uneven surfaces, you’ll benefit from progressive long runs, hill repeats, and off-road tempo sessions that improve stability, stamina, and mental resilience.

✅ Adaptation to Elevation
Ruidoso sits above 6,900 feet. This plan includes gradual load increases and intentional recovery weeks (3:1 cycle) to help your body adapt, reduce fatigue, and avoid overtraining at altitude.

✅ Integrated Strength Training
We incorporate functional strength work and a smart transition to traditional lifting to enhance muscular durability—especially critical for the elevation and terrain of this Half Distance Triathlon.

✅ Periodized Structure with Peak Week at 14 Hours
You’ll build from ~9.5 hours to 14 hours/week, balancing endurance, recovery, and skill development so you peak at the right time.

✅ Backed by Expert Coach Support
Personalized email support from certified coaches is included to help you troubleshoot, stay accountable, and tailor your plan based on real-life demands.
