The Middle Distance Triathlon Sanremo challenges your endurance, strength, and race strategy across swim, bike, and run segments — and this detailed 44-week Middle Distance Triathlon training plan is designed to prepare you thoroughly for every aspect of the course.

The plan begins with a 12-week foundational base phase, focusing on building your aerobic capacity and swimming technique. This ensures you enter the 1.9 km swim in the calm, clear Ligurian Sea with confidence and efficiency, maintaining excellent buoy sighting and a smooth rhythm throughout the salty, sheltered waters.

Following the base phase, the 32-week specialized training ramps up to develop the strength and stamina needed for the demanding 90 km bike leg. This section of the course features a significant 17 km climb to Passo Ghimbegna, and the plan includes targeted hill workouts and power intervals to help you conquer this ascent with energy to spare. You’ll also train bike handling skills essential for the fast, technical descents through Bajardo and the legendary Poggio di Sanremo, gaining the control and confidence necessary for these challenging sections.

The 21.1 km run along the flat, scenic Ligurian coastline is addressed through structured run sessions that build endurance, speed, and mental toughness. The plan prepares you for unique elements like the 1.7 km Capo Nero tunnel, helping you maintain focus and pace despite changes in scenery and rhythm.
