Prepare to perform your best at the Middle Distance Triathlon in Cesenatico, Italy with this 24-week senior-focused training plan. Every element of the course—from the open-water swim in the Adriatic, to the 90 km ride through the hills of Romagna, to the fast-paced run along the Cesenatico waterfront—demands targeted preparation. This plan delivers exactly that, tailored to athletes aged 60+ who want to stay strong, resilient, and competitive.

How This Plan Prepares You for Cesenatico
🏊 Swim (1.9 km open water): Build confidence and control in the sea with technique-focused swim drills, endurance sets, and video-based instruction.
🚴 Bike (90 km with 900m elevation): Tackle the flat-to-hilly terrain of Romagna with smart progression—starting with aerobic rides and progressing to strength-endurance and threshold hill work. Your legs will be primed for both the early speed and the late climbs.
🏃 Run (21 km flat multi-lap): Adapt to the fast, flat coastal run course through strategic pacing sessions, brick workouts, and race-specific intervals designed to help you finish strong.
