This comprehensive Middle Distance Triathlon training plan is built to prepare you for the stunning yet challenging course of Challenge Sanremo. Every session is crafted to match the unique demands of the race — from the calm, salty waters of the Ligurian Sea to the relentless 17 km climb to Passo Ghimbegna and the fast, flat coastal run into the finish.

✅ Solid Foundation First – Begin with a four to six-week aerobic base, ensuring your body is ready for the demands ahead. This early phase builds the endurance you’ll need for the open-water swim and sustained climbs.

✅ Swim Preparedness – Structured pool workouts and open-water drills improve sighting, breathing rhythm, and stroke efficiency — giving you the confidence to navigate Sanremo’s clear but salty waters with ease.

✅ Climbing Power & Descending Skills – Interval-based cycling sessions target both sustained climbing strength and the handling skills needed for the technical descent through Bajardo and Poggio di Sanremo.

✅ Run Endurance & Speed – Progressive long runs and tempo sessions prepare you for Sanremo’s flat coastal pathway, while training in variable light conditions simulates the unique Capo Nero tunnel section.

✅ Full-Body Strength – Triathlete-specific strength sessions reinforce your core, glutes, and leg drive — essential for both the climb and the final run push.

✅ Race-Specific Adaptation – Workouts are scheduled to simulate race-day fatigue, teaching your body to perform strongly when transitioning from long climbs to fast descents, and from cycling to running.

✅ Ongoing Coach Support – Personalized email guidance keeps your training on track and adapts to your schedule, fitness level, and progress.

By race day, you’ll not only complete the Middle Distance Triathlon Sanremo — you’ll thrive in it, ready for the swim, strong on the bike, and confident on the run.

Take the step toward your best race performance. Get your plan today and train with the confidence that every workout brings you closer to your Sanremo finish line.
