With calm turquoise waters, fast coastal roads, and scenic flat trails through the stunning Marina of Cap Cana, this event deserves your best performance. Our Beginner’s Six-Month Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is your ultimate guide to getting there feeling confident, strong, and fully prepared.

🏊‍♂️ Crystal-Clear Swim Preparedness
Train for the 1.2-mile swim in warm, current-free waters by focusing on swim form, breathing rhythm, and open-water comfort. Technique-focused drills and structured swim sessions help you build efficiency and endurance so you can start strong and stay calm.

🚴‍♀️ Fast and Flat Bike Readiness
Prepare for Cap Cana’s fast 56-mile bike course—80% of which is on a smooth two-lane highway—with progressive rides that build power and endurance. Interval training based on Heart Rate and RPE ensures you can maintain speed while staying within your limits in tropical conditions.

🏃‍♂️ Scenic Run Strength
The 13-mile flat run through Cap Cana’s lush landscapes and vibrant marina demands both pacing strategy and heat adaptation. Our training helps you develop steady running fitness with brick workouts and pacing drills to thrive even when the temperature hits 89°F (32°C).

📈 Proven Progression for Newcomers
This plan is specifically designed for beginner athletes entering their first Half Distance Triathlon. Training starts at 7 hours in week one and builds gradually to 12 hours by week 19. It’s a steady, safe ramp-up that builds your aerobic base while developing key race-day skills.

🏋️‍♂️ Strength + Mobility = Resilience
Weekly strength training sessions with video guidance help improve core stability, muscle balance, and injury resistance—especially important when preparing for back-to-back disciplines in a hot climate.

🎯 Smart, Structured, and Supportive
From swim to long runs, every session is purposeful. You’ll train smarter with clear daily guidance, learn pacing through RPE and heart rate, and receive optional email coach support to answer your questions and keep you on track.
