The Half Distance Triathlon in Alghero, Italy, offers a stunning yet challenging mix of calm waters, rolling island roads, and seaside run paths — and this six-month beginner training plan prepares you for every moment of it. From your first confident strokes in the bay to your final stride along the harbor wall, every session builds strength, skill, and self-belief to make race day unforgettable.
.
🏊 Swim Confidence in Alghero Bay:
Progressive endurance and sighting drills simulate the calm but open-water conditions of San Giovanni Beach. Focused technique sets improve breathing, body position, and rhythm so you glide efficiently through Alghero’s emerald waters.
.
🚴 Bike Power for Porto Conte’s Climbs:
Targeted intervals and tempo rides develop the aerobic endurance and sustained climbing strength needed for the 90 km loop with 850 m of elevation. Each session helps you stay smooth on rolling coastal roads and strong through every climb.
.
🏃 Run Strength Along the Coastline:
With three loops connecting Alghero’s old town and seafront, pacing and resilience are key. Brick workouts and controlled tempo runs prepare your legs for repeated transitions and steady effort over the final kilometers.
