The Full Distance Triathlon Italy in Cervia is a breathtaking yet demanding race. From the 3.8 km Adriatic Sea swim to the 180 km ride through Romagna’s countryside—and the flat, fast 42 km run weaving through medieval landmarks—this course demands more than just fitness. It requires intelligent, structured training. That’s where this 24-week Full Distance Triathlon training plan comes in.
🎯 This plan is engineered for athletes like you—not first-timers, but those with a solid aerobic base and the commitment to go long. We start strong with an anaerobic threshold session in Week 1. The journey builds from 10.5 to 18 hours per week, preparing your body and mind for the challenge Cervia brings.
