Ready to Race the Full Distance Triathlon Italy? Let’s Make It Your Strongest Finish Yet.
Imagine diving into the Adriatic Sea at sunrise, powering through the scenic roads of Romagna, then crossing the finish line in the heart of Cervia—strong, prepared, and proud.
This 36-Week Full Distance Triathlon Intermediate Plan is built specifically to prepare you for every challenge this race brings, from the saltwater swim to the flat, four-loop marathon. Whether you're aiming for a PR or taking on your first full distance, this is the plan that gets you there—with purpose, structure, and coach-backed support.
🌊 Swim-Ready Confidence
The race begins with a 3.8 km swim in the calm, warm waters off Cervia's beach. Our plan incorporates open water simulation drills, stroke technique improvement, and progressive swim endurance sets so you’ll feel confident sighting and pacing in race conditions.
🚴♂️ Bike-Strong for Romagna’s Beauty
The two-loop, 180 km bike course offers fast flats and scenic climbs, including a descent from Bertinoro. With a steady build from base endurance rides to structured power-based intervals and long weekend rides, this plan trains your body to stay strong and efficient—mile after mile.
🏃♂️ Run the Final 42 km with Confidence
Flat and fast, the four-loop marathon run is deceptively challenging. Our plan includes aerobic base building, tempo workouts, and progressive long runs. You'll also complete run-specific bricks to practice pacing off the bike, so you're ready to finish strong through Cervia, Milano Marittima, and the historic city center.
