Plan Description
The Half Distance Triathlon in Alghero, Italy is a stunning yet challenging race that rewards athletes who prepare with precision and consistency. This 36-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan is specifically crafted for competitive Masters athletes over 40—those who want to perform confidently across the swim, bike, and run segments unique to Alghero’s coastal terrain.
🏊♂️ Swim – Prepare for Calm, Cool Waters
The plan includes open-water simulation sessions and progressive endurance sets that mirror Alghero’s 1.9 km bay swim from San Giovanni Beach. Focused drills enhance sighting, stroke rhythm, and aerobic efficiency—vital for staying relaxed in the 18°C emerald waters protected by the harbor.
🚴♂️ Bike – Build Strength for Rolling Coastal Roads
Targeted power-based and heart-rate-guided cycling workouts prepare you for the 90 km loop with 850 m of elevation gain through the Natural Park of Porto Conte. Long tempo rides, muscular-endurance intervals, and controlled climbing sessions help you sustain steady output on rolling terrain while managing energy for the return to the harbor.
🏃♂️ Run – Execute Steady Loops Along the Seafront
The three-loop coastal run demands resilience and pacing discipline. Integrated brick workouts and race-pace intervals train your body to transition smoothly off the bike, maintain cadence on flat terrain, and finish strong through Alghero’s old-town streets and along the scenic waterfront.
✅ Periodized 3:1 Load & Recovery Design for sustainable progress
✅ Masters-specific strength and mobility sessions for durability
✅ VO₂ Max & tempo intervals for improved aerobic capacity
✅ Compatible with Garmin, TrainingPeaks, and smart-device sync
✅ Personalized Email Coach Support included for direct feedback
