Plan Description

Get ready to race the stunning Half Distance Triathlon in Alghero, Italy—where turquoise waters, Mediterranean roads, and seaside views create a world-class racing experience. This Beginner 44-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan is built to prepare you for the unique challenges of Alghero’s course: calm open-water swimming in the San Giovanni bay, rolling coastal climbs around Porto Conte Natural Park, and a fast, scenic run along the harbor and old town streets.

💦 Swim Preparation for Alghero’s Bay
Master efficiency in open-water conditions with progressive swim workouts that improve technique, pacing, and sighting. You’ll be ready for the 1.9 km loop of emerald water with confidence and rhythm.

🚴 Bike Strength for Coastal Elevation
The 90 km bike route with 850 m of climbing demands balanced endurance and climbing strength. Our Half Distance Triathlon training plan includes hill simulations, tempo intervals, and endurance rides that mirror the island’s varied terrain—ensuring you can sustain power through every ascent and descent.

🏃 Run Endurance for the Coastal Loops
Your run training builds aerobic stamina and mental focus for the 3-loop course along Alghero’s waterfront and historic streets. Structured sessions blend RPE and heart-rate guidance to help you maintain pace, adapt to terrain changes, and finish strong at the harbor.

✨ Plan Highlights
✅ 12-Week Foundation Phase: Build aerobic base, mobility, and strength.
✅ 32-Week Race-Specific Phase: Structured swim, bike, and run sessions with V02 and threshold training.
✅ 🎥 Instructional swim-drill videos.
