The Half Distance Triathlon Los Cabos is not forgiving. Warm, non-wetsuit water. A rolling, exposed bike course. A hot, dry run that punishes poor pacing. This 24-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan is built so you arrive prepared for exactly those demands—not guessing, not reacting.
.
⚠️ Prerequisite Training Required
.
Before you begin, you need an established aerobic base. This plan starts at 9 hours in week one and quickly introduces anaerobic threshold and VO2 max work. If you are ready for that level, this is where performance is built.
.
Swim: Control in Warm Open Water
.
You will train for efficiency to be prepared for the swim in Palmilla Bay. Technique work, structured intervals, and open water sessions prepare you to hold pace without wetsuit assistance.
.
Bike: Power Over Rolling Terrain
.
You will build the strength to handle elevation changes and maintain speed on the Transpeninsular Highway. Power-based intervals and long progressive rides develop sustained output under load.
.
Run: Execute Under Heat and Fatigue
.
You will train your body to run efficiently off the bike in high temperatures. Brick sessions and endurance progression improve durability, pacing, and late-race control.
