✅ Build Confidence in Open Water:
The 12-week base phase emphasizes swim technique and endurance—ideal for mastering the single-lap 1.9 km swim off Cesenatico Beach. You’ll develop efficient form and mental toughness for a confident start.
✅ Train for the Hills of Romagna:

The 21 km flat, multi-lap run in Parco di Levante is all about pacing and sustained effort. You’ll benefit from structured RPE/heart-rate based sessions to perfect your pacing, minimize fatigue, and finish strong.
