Plan Description
Get ready to conquer the breathtaking Full Distance Triathlon in Cozumel with a six-month training plan designed to prepare you for every challenge the course offers. From crystal-clear waters and flat coastal bike loops to a vibrant, spectator-lined run—this plan aligns perfectly with what you’ll face on race day.
🔥 Before beginning ensure you can currently swim 1.5 kilometers, cycle at least 45 miles, and run continuously for 60 minutes.🔥
Here’s how it sets you up for success:
🌊 SWIM PREP
The warm Caribbean waters of Cozumel are ideal for an open-water swim, but navigating ocean currents and maintaining form over 3.8km still requires serious preparation.
✅ Progressive swim workouts to build endurance and technique
✅ Video-based drills to fine-tune stroke mechanics
✅ VO₂ interval training to simulate race-day intensity
🚴 BIKE TRAINING
Cozumel's flat, fast 180km bike course offers PR potential, but pacing and nutrition are key to success.
✅ 3-week build phases targeting sustained aerobic power
✅ Heart rate and RPE-based sessions to master pacing
✅ Long rides that mimic the demands of a 3-lap, steady-state course
🏃 RUN PREPARATION
The flat 42.2km run showcases Cozumel’s waterfront and historic center—made easier if your legs are trained to run efficiently after the bike.
✅ Integrated brick workouts to build resilience off the bike
✅ AI-powered run gait analysis to improve efficiency
✅ Strength and mobility sessions to reduce injury risk
🧠 Smart Structure, Smarter Recovery
Your body adapts with purpose: 3 weeks of building, followed by 1 week of recovery.
✅ Reduces injury risk
✅ Enhances consistency
✅ Builds confidence with every milestone
🎯 Ideal for First-Time Full Distance Triathletes
