The Half Distance Triathlon in Alghero, Italy is a breathtaking race through turquoise waters, scenic coastal roads, and the historic harbor streets. To help you perform your best on this iconic course, this 36-week beginner triathlon training plan builds every skill you’ll need—from your first open-water swim to the final strides along the seafront wall.

This beginner program begins with a 12-week base phase that strengthens your aerobic foundation and perfects your swim efficiency for Alghero’s 1.9 km protected-bay swim. Video-guided drills teach body position, breathing rhythm, and sighting—key to navigating the calm yet open waters off San Giovanni Beach.

Next comes the 24-week race-specific phase, carefully structured to mirror Alghero’s 90 km bike course with 850 m of climbing. You’ll build sustained power for the rolling coastal sections and steady strength for the climbs through the Porto Conte Natural Park. Tempo rides, heart-rate-based intervals, and cadence control sessions prepare you to handle changing terrain with confidence.

The run block develops durability and rhythm for Alghero’s three-loop seaside run. Progressive brick workouts teach efficient transitions, while long aerobic runs simulate the steady pacing required to thrive under the Mediterranean sun.

✅ Structured weekly progression from 7 → 12 hours
✅ Swim, bike, and run sessions tailored for course-specific demands
✅ Heart-rate and RPE-guided workouts for accurate pacing
✅ Video-based strength and technique sessions for injury prevention
✅ Gradual endurance build-up for beginners with no prior experience

Every detail of this Half Distance Triathlon training plan is crafted to help you feel confident on race day—from your first stroke in the emerald bay to your final sprint back to the Alghero harbor.
