Plan Description
Your First Full Distance Triathlon Starts Here – Train Smart for Italy
Swim the Adriatic. Ride through Romagna. Run through Cervia’s charming streets.
If you're a beginner training for the Full Distance Triathlon Italy, this plan is made just for you. Whether you’re new to the sport or moving up from shorter races, our 36-week plan will guide you every step of the way—from your first swim drill to crossing the finish line in Cervia.
💪 How This Beginner-Friendly Plan Gets You Ready for Race Day:
✅ Step-by-Step Swim Training
We start with 12 weeks of swim-focused workouts to build your technique, endurance, and confidence in the water. Easy-to-follow video tutorials teach you how to breathe, sight, and pace yourself—so you’ll feel prepared for the 3.8 km swim in the calm Adriatic Sea.
✅ Build Bike Fitness Gradually
Worried about riding 180 km? Don’t be. We’ll ease you in with weekly rides that grow longer and stronger, helping you prepare for the rolling hills of Romagna and the descent from Bertinoro—all while getting used to fueling and staying steady in the saddle.
✅ Confidently Tackle the Marathon
You’ll train for the 42 km flat run with a mix of long runs, steady efforts, and run/walk strategies designed for beginners. By race day, you’ll be ready to pace yourself through the beautiful streets of Cervia and Milano Marittima—without burning out.
✅ Practice Transitions with Brick Workouts
Our beginner bricks blend swim-bike and bike-run workouts to teach your body how to transition smoothly between sports. It’s key for building race-day rhythm and confidence.
✅ Progress at Your Own Pace
Start with just 4.5 hours of training per week. Over 36 weeks, you'll gradually build to 14.5 hours—always with purpose, balance, and recovery in mind. No guesswork. Just steady progress.
✅ Coach Support When You Need It
You’ll get direct email access to expert coaches who can answer your questions, adjust your plan, and keep you motivated.
🌟 You don’t have to be fast or experienced—you just have to start.
If you're dreaming of finishing your first Full Distance Triathlon, this plan is your roadmap.
👉 Sign up today and train with a plan that’s built for beginners, backed by coaching, and made for Italy.
