The Half Distance Triathlon in Alghero, Italy is as breathtaking as it is rewarding — a swim through emerald waters, a scenic 90km ride through Mediterranean countryside, and a coastal run surrounded by history and sea breeze. This 24-week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is designed specifically for athletes aged 60 and over who want to race strong while staying healthy, efficient, and injury-free.
.
🏊♂️ Open-Water Readiness
Each swim session builds confidence in the calm yet variable bay conditions of San Giovanni Beach. Technique-driven drills improve efficiency and pacing for the 1.9 km course, while endurance sets mirror real-race scenarios in cooler 18°C water temperatures.
.
🚴♂️ Strength for the Sardinian Terrain
The bike course’s 850 m of elevation gain around Porto Conte Natural Park calls for resilience and smart power management. Structured power-based rides and progressive climbing intervals replicate the changing gradients and steady Mediterranean winds, helping you sustain effort without fatigue.
.
🏃♂️ Efficient Coastal Running
Three-loop runs along the Alghero waterfront demand rhythm, control, and mental focus. This plan integrates run-off-the-bike bricks and pacing work to simulate those fast-changing transitions between town streets and the coastline — improving coordination and durability.
