Plan Description
The breathtaking Zell am See-Kaprun Half Distance Triathlon is more than just a race—it’s a journey through crystal-clear alpine waters, stunning mountain climbs, and a fast-paced lakeside run. Our 24-week Intermediate Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is designed specifically to help you succeed on this iconic course, balancing strategy, strength, and endurance across every discipline.
🏊 Swim Strong in Lake Zell
With open-water swim workouts built into your plan, you'll be fully prepared to tackle the 1.9 km single-loop swim in Lake Zell’s clear alpine waters. You'll practice sighting, pacing, and adapting to varying water temperatures (17–23 °C / 63–73 °F)—critical skills for this lake-based swim that begins at Strandbad Seespitz and loops toward the historic town center.
🚴♂️ Climb Confidently, Descend with Precision
The 90 km bike course features ~870 meters of climbing and a summit at Filzen Saddle (1,280 m), with steep 15% grades and fast technical descents. This plan prepares you with:
✅ Strength-building hill intervals
✅ Long rides simulating elevation gain
✅ Brick sessions that teach your body to transition from tough climbs to fast flats
