Plan Description
Take on the stunning coastal challenge of Cervia fully prepared—with a training plan built to meet the unique demands of the Half Distance Triathlon Italy Emilia-Romagna course.
This 36-week intermediate training plan is tailored specifically to help you thrive across the Adriatic swim, the scenic Romagna countryside bike ride, and the flat, fast run through Cervia and Milano Marittima. Whether you're racing your first or aiming for a personal best, this plan is designed to elevate every facet of your performance.
✅ Build a Bulletproof Endurance Base
The first 12 weeks focus on foundational endurance, essential for navigating the 1.9-KM open water swim in the calm yet demanding Adriatic Sea. You'll gain aerobic fitness while reinforcing good technique—vital for a smooth, confident swim start.
✅ Progressive Bike Conditioning for the Romagna Course
From the natural beauty of the Salt Pans to the gentle rolling terrain of the countryside, this plan prepares your legs for sustained effort and cadence control. The one-loop 90-KM ride demands consistent strength and smart pacing—developed through structured intervals and power-based sessions.
✅ Run-Ready for Fast, Flat Racing
With brick workouts, tempo runs, and threshold intervals, the plan trains your body to handle the flat but repetitive three-loop 21.1-KM run. You'll build the muscular endurance and mental toughness to finish strong through Cervia's charming town center.
✅ Strength Training from Day One
We kick things off with focused strength development—crucial for injury prevention and long-course efficiency. These sessions evolve alongside your triathlon training, helping you hold form deep into the race.
✅ VO₂ Max & Threshold Intervals
By week 7, we introduce high-impact interval work to sharpen your aerobic ceiling and race-day resilience. You'll increase speed and efficiency across all three disciplines.
✅ Coach-Supported Personalization
