How This Training Plan Prepares You for the Half Distance Puerto Rico Triathlon
Building a Strong Foundation
The first 12 weeks focus on building strength and endurance. You'll enhance your swim technique with instructional videos and drills, preparing you for the calm waters of Condado Lagoon. Structured Run/Jog and Bike sessions based on RPE (Rate of Perceived Effort) and Heart Rate ensure you're training at the right intensity to maximize your performance for the triathlon.

Progressive Training for Endurance
Starting with 7 hours of training per week, the plan gradually increases to a peak of 12 hours per week. This progression allows you to safely build endurance for the race’s 56-mile bike and 13.1-mile run segments. By race day, you'll have the stamina to tackle the demanding terrain, including challenging hills and scenic coastal views.

Simulate Race Conditions
With open-water swimming drills and brick workouts that combine cycling and running, you’ll be well-prepared for the race’s distinct challenges. These workouts mimic the hilly run through Old San Juan and the beachfront bike ride, ensuring you’re ready for the varied terrain and conditions.

Strength and Technique Mastery
We include strength training with video instructions to build muscle and improve form. Proper technique is key, especially for the hills in the bike and run courses. By mastering technique early, you’ll conserve energy and perform at your best throughout the race.

Mental and Physical Preparation
Over the course of 36 weeks, you’ll not only gain physical endurance but also develop mental toughness. As you build confidence, you’ll be ready to handle the high temperatures and challenging course in Puerto Rico, helping you stay strong through the finish line.
