The Middle Distance Triathlon Sanremo offers a breathtaking but challenging course—calm Ligurian Sea waters, a 17 km climb to Passo Ghimbegna, and a fast, flat coastal run. This 36-week triathlon training plan is designed to prepare senior triathletes aged 60+ for every element of race day while respecting age-specific recovery needs.

🏊 Swim Readiness – The plan’s early swim drills and endurance sets build comfort in open water, improve sighting, and strengthen your stroke—vital for navigating Sanremo’s clear but salty Ligurian Sea in a single, 1.9 km loop.

🚴 Climb & Descent Conditioning – Progressive hill repeats and sustained power intervals mirror the 1,500 m elevation gain to Passo Ghimbegna. Technical bike handling sessions prepare you for the thrilling descent through Poggio di Sanremo’s sharp turns—just like the pros in Milano–Sanremo.

🏃 Flat Coastal Speed – Tempo runs, brick sessions, and threshold workouts sharpen your pace for the flat, fast 21.1 km run along the Sanremo–Ospedaletti path, including mental focus drills for the 1.7 km Capo Nero tunnel.

Key Benefits:
✅ Structured Periodization – 2:1 work-to-recovery ratio for sustainable gains.
✅ Strength & Mobility Focus – Maintain muscle mass and joint health for long-term performance.
✅ Aerobic Endurance Development – Long sessions at low intensity build durability for race day.
✅ Device-Compatible Workouts – Fully synced with Garmin and smart training platforms.
✅ Course-Specific Preparation – Workouts tailored to Sanremo’s climbs, descents, and coastal run.
✅ Personalized Email Coach Support – Expert guidance to keep you on track.

From a 12-week aerobic base phase to a final peak period of race-specific sharpening, every session in this plan aligns with the unique demands of the Middle Distance Triathlon Sanremo. Designed for efficiency, weekly volume progresses from ~7.5 to 12 hours, ensuring enough stimulus for adaptation without compromising recovery.

Take the guesswork out of your triathlon training plan—prepare with purpose, master the course, and step onto the Sanremo start line ready to perform at your best.
