Plan Description
🏖️ Ready to conquer Cervia’s breathtaking course? Whether you're dreaming of gliding through the calm Adriatic Sea or cycling past flamingos near the Salt Pans, the Half Distance Triathlon Italy Emilia-Romagna offers a course that demands preparation, precision, and confidence. Our 44-week beginner training plan is engineered to get you to the finish line strong, energized, and race-ready.
💡 Here’s how this plan prepares you for every leg of this iconic race:
✅ Builds a Solid Foundation: The first 12 weeks emphasize strength, base endurance, and aerobic conditioning—crucial for navigating Cervia’s warm waters and flat but fast run course.
✅ Swim-Specific Technique Work: Calm sea conditions don’t mean you can slack on form. Our plan includes guided swim drills 🏊 and video tutorials to help you move efficiently through the one-loop 1.9 km swim.
✅ Bike Power for the Countryside: The scenic 90 km ride through Romagna’s countryside and past the Salt Pans requires muscular endurance. Our structured bike workouts 🚴♂️ using RPE and Heart Rate training zones will help you handle the course and conserve energy for the run.
✅ Run Strong Through Cervia’s Historic Streets: With three flat loops totaling 21.1 km, the run requires sustained pacing and mental focus. Our interval-based run sessions 🏃 build speed and efficiency, so you're strong all the way to the finish line.
✅ V02 Max & Anaerobic Threshold Training: From week 13 onward, you'll elevate performance with structured intensity—perfect for staying sharp during the final kilometers of each discipline.
✅ Tri-Specific Strength Training: Every week includes strength sessions tailored to beginners, reducing injury risk and reinforcing muscular resilience across all three sports.
✅ Expert Support: Gain direct access to personalized email coach support—ask questions, adjust your schedule, and stay accountable every step of the way.
