Plan Description

The Half Distance Triathlon in Nice, France, is more than a race—it's a test of endurance across a breathtaking yet demanding Mediterranean landscape. From the open waters of Plage des Ponchettes to the steep ascent of Col de Vence, and the historic energy along the Promenade des Anglais, every leg of this race calls for a specific kind of preparation.

✅ Why This Plan Works for You:
This 6-month intermediate training plan is designed to fully prepare you for the unique terrain and race-day conditions of Nice:

✅ Structured Weekly Build-Up: Begin at 8 hours/week and progress to 12 hours/week, ensuring sustainable growth and proper recovery.

✅ Open-Water Swim Readiness: Acclimate to conditions similar to the Mediterranean Sea with focused drills and long continuous efforts.

✅ Climb-Ready Cycling: Prepare your legs and lungs for climbs like Col de Vence through progressive hill repeats and tempo rides.

✅ Hot-Weather Run Endurance: Get race-day ready for mid-70s temperatures with heat-adapted long runs and interval work on fatigued legs.
