Plan Description
Set along the breathtaking coastline of the Venetian Riviera, the Half Distance Triathlon Venice-Jesolo is a fast, scenic, and unforgettable event that demands focused preparation. From the cool waters of the Adriatic to the smooth, flat roads through the Venetian lagoon and a final beachfront run, this race is designed for personal bests—and your training should be, too.
Train Smarter, Race Stronger: For Masters 40+ Athletes Who Mean Business
Our Competitive Masters 40+ Six-Month Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is crafted for athletes like you—experienced, motivated, and ready to step up. This structured 24-week program goes beyond general fitness. It targets the specific demands of the Venice-Jesolo course: sustained speed on the flat bike leg, efficiency in open-water swimming, and resilience during a warm, looped run on a mix of shaded paths and sunlit promenade.
