Plan Description

Train Smart for the Half Distance Triathlon in Nice, France – 36-Week Beginner Plan

When preparing for the Half Distance Triathlon in Nice, France, your training needs to go beyond logging miles. This 36-week beginner-friendly plan is structured to prepare your body and mind for the specific demands of the race—starting from the Mediterranean swim to the steep climbs of the Col de Vence, and finishing strong along the iconic Promenade des Anglais.

Here’s how this structured plan sets you up for success:

✅ Swim Preparedness for Mediterranean Conditions

Progressive drills build endurance and comfort in open water.

Weekly swim workouts include technique-focused sessions with video guidance.

You’ll develop confidence navigating the sea’s natural conditions—including waves and currents.

🚴 Bike Fitness Tailored for Climbs Like Col de Vence

Structured training rides build hill-climbing strength and descending skills.

You’ll progress from manageable efforts to longer sessions mimicking the 90 km hilly loop.

Targeted tempo and threshold intervals prepare you for sustained efforts on the course.

🏃 Run Durability for the Promenade des Anglais

Race simulation workouts develop pacing and mental strategy.

Brick sessions teach your body to transition smoothly from bike to run.

Heat acclimation strategies help you adapt to race-day temperatures around 75°F (24°C).

💪 Strength & Recovery Focus for Long-Term Gains

Weekly strength routines (with video demos*) improve injury resistance and functional movement.

Built-in recovery weeks allow for adaptation and reduce the risk of overtraining.

Every session uses Rate of Perceived Effort (RPE) or heart rate zones to guide intensity.

📩 Ongoing Coach Support by Email
