Plan Description
Have you ever dreamed of racing a Half Distance Triathlon in one of Italy’s most breathtaking coastal towns? With the sun rising over Cervia’s shoreline, the calm Adriatic Sea ahead, and your heart full of determination—you can be that athlete. This 36-week beginner training plan is your roadmap from “Can I really do this?” to “I DID IT.”
You don’t need speed records or endless hours to train. All you need is the desire to challenge yourself—and a plan built just for you.
🏁 Build from the Ground Up
The first 12 weeks focus on building a strong foundation—no pressure, no high mileage. Just gradual, smart training to help your body adapt. You’ll learn proper form, build endurance, and gain confidence in the water with guided video swim drills that make the Adriatic swim feel approachable, even exciting.
🚴♀️ Ride with Purpose
Explore the rhythm of structured bike sessions tailored to heart rate and effort. You'll be ready to take on the beautiful one-loop course through Romagna’s countryside, passing the pink salt pans and iconic flamingos with strength in your legs—and a smile on your face.
🏃 Run Toward Your Finish Line
Your final 21.1 km run in Cervia will feel familiar. That’s because you’ve practiced race-day pacing, transitions, and back-to-back (brick) workouts throughout the 24-week performance phase of this plan. You’ll know exactly how it feels to finish strong.
💪 Strength & Confidence
With video-guided strength training* and mobility work, you’ll become not just a finisher—but a resilient triathlete who trains smart and avoids injury.
📩 Personalized Coach Support
