This plan is built for high-performance amateur athletes ready to take on the Middle Distance Triathlon in Sanremo — a race defined by its stunning Ligurian Sea swim, legendary 17 km climb to Passo Ghimbegna, technical descents through mountain villages, and a flat, fast coastal run. Every session is carefully designed to prepare you for the exact demands of this course so you arrive on race day confident and ready.
⚠️ Prerequisite Base Fitness Required – You’ll need a solid aerobic foundation before starting. Week one begins with 9 hours, including Anaerobic Threshold and VO₂ Max intervals, building to 14.5 hours by week 19.
✅ Swim Preparedness for Sanremo’s Calm but Salty Waters – Technique-focused drills, open-water simulations, and pacing strategies ensure you’re ready for the sheltered Ligurian Sea swim, with workouts delivered straight to your Garmin for pool or open water use.
✅ Climb-Ready Cycling Strength – Structured hill repeats, sustained threshold efforts, and power-based training replicate the 1,500 m ascent to Passo Ghimbegna while sharpening handling skills for the Poggio di Sanremo descent.
✅ Run Strength for a Fast Coastal Finish – Long runs, brick sessions, and pacing work mirror the flat, fast Sanremo–Ospedaletti pathway, including strategies for steady rhythm through the 1.7 km Capo Nero tunnel.
✅ 3/1 Training Cycle for Peak Performance – Three weeks of progressive load followed by one week of active recovery, plus space to slot in your “B” race without disrupting your build.
✅ Full Spectrum Conditioning – Functional and traditional strength training improve durability for the bike climb and running efficiency late in the race.
✅ Data-Driven Precision – Heart rate and power-based sessions integrate seamlessly with Garmin for detailed tracking and adaptation.
