Prepare to perform at your absolute best on one of Europe’s most scenic Half Distance Triathlon courses. Designed for amateur-advanced athletes, this 36-week plan builds the specific strength, endurance, and skill you’ll need to master Alghero’s coastal swim, dynamic bike route, and picturesque multi-loop run.

🏊‍♂️ Swim Preparation – Calm Emerald Waters of San Giovanni Beach
Your program begins with focused swim-technique drills and endurance sets that simulate the bay’s sheltered but slightly variable currents. Targeted open-water simulations prepare you for Alghero’s average 18°C spring waters, improving sighting, pacing, and efficiency from start to finish.

🚴‍♀️ Bike Conditioning – 90 km of Coastal and Parkland Terrain
The 850 m elevation gain around the Natural Park of Porto Conte demands sustained aerobic endurance and confident handling on rolling roads. Progressive long rides, climbing accelerations, and anaerobic threshold intervals mirror the changing gradients and Mediterranean winds so you can hold power steadily throughout the 90 km loop.

🏃‍♂️ Run Strength – Historic Streets and Coastal Loops
Three run laps along Alghero’s harborfront require rhythm, pacing, and mental composure. The plan includes brick sessions and tempo runs that teach your body to transition smoothly off the bike while maintaining pace consistency over each 7 km loop.

✅ 3-Weeks Load / 1-Week Recovery Structure for Optimal Adaptation
✅ Peak Volume: 14.5 hrs / week, Starting at 9.5 hrs for Gradual Progression
✅ VO₂ Max, Threshold, and ATP-PC Sprint Workouts to Boost Speed & Endurance
✅ Functional & Traditional Strength Phases to Build Power and Stability
✅ Personalized Email Coach Support to Guide You Every Step

Every session within this Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is purpose-built to match the rhythm and character of Alghero’s terrain — calm yet challenging, scenic yet demanding precision.

Your race in Sardinia deserves preparation that’s as extraordinary as the course itself. 🏆
