Plan Description
Prepare to tackle the Half Distance Triathlon Belgrade Serbia with confidence, knowing you're backed by a powerful 6-month training plan designed specifically for this unforgettable course.
The race begins with a 1,900-meter swim in the serene, crystal-clear waters of Sava Lake, nestled in the heart of Belgrade. With calm conditions and average temperatures around 68°F (20°C), our training plan ensures you're fully prepared for open-water challenges with tailored sessions that mimic race-day conditions, including tempo swims and endurance drills.
