Plan Description
Tailored for masters athletes aged 40 and above, this plan offers a step-by-step approach to build endurance, strength, and race readiness for the swim, bike, and run segments of this iconic event.
✅ Progressive, No-Experience Necessary: Starting with a 12-week base phase, you’ll gradually develop foundational endurance and swim technique. This ensures even athletes new to triathlon training can build confidence and fitness safely.
✅ Race-Specific Preparation: The subsequent 32 weeks focus on triathlon-specific skills like pacing, brick workouts, and VO₂ max intervals to boost your speed and efficiency for the 1.9 km swim, 90 km bike, and 21.1 km run course of the Half Distance Triathlon Italy Emilia-Romagna.
✅ Injury Prevention and Strength Training: Designed with masters athletes in mind, the plan integrates strength workouts that enhance muscular endurance and resilience, helping you stay healthy and strong throughout your training and on race day.
✅ Smart Training Metrics: Whether you use a Garmin, smartwatch, or other devices, each workout is programmed with clear guidance on Rate of Perceived Effort (RPE), heart rate zones, and power targets, so you train efficiently and avoid overtraining.
✅ Structured Periodization: The 3:1 training model (three weeks of progressive build, followed by one recovery week) ensures sustainable improvements without burnout, helping you peak exactly when it matters for the Half Distance Triathlon.
✅ Swim Technique Support: Video-guided drills included in the plan help refine your stroke and boost your confidence for the calm Adriatic Sea swim from the pristine beach of Cervia.
By following this proven Half Distance Triathlon Italy Emilia-Romagna training plan, you will build the endurance and mental toughness needed to conquer the stunning bike course past the Natural Park of Salt Pans and the flat, scenic 21.1 km run through Cervia and Milano Marittima.
