Plan Description

Half Distance Triathlon Kraichgau – Train Smart, Race Strong

Are you ready to conquer the legendary Half Distance Triathlon Kraichgau? With its pristine 1.9 km swim in Hardtsee, a stunning 90 km bike ride through Germany’s "land of 1000 hills," and a fast, flat 21.1 km run through the energizing Kurpark of Bad Schönborn, this race demands focus, preparation, and strategy.

Our 44-Week Intermediate Training Plan is crafted specifically to help you peak for success on this exact course. Whether it’s your first time racing in Kraichgau or you’re looking to break a personal best, this plan ensures you show up strong, confident, and ready to perform.

Why This Plan Works for Kraichgau:
✅ Perfect for Rolling Terrain: With over 1000 meters of climbing on the bike, you’ll need more than just endurance. This plan builds leg strength, climbing efficiency, and descending confidence with terrain-specific bike workouts.

✅ Swim Like a Pro: Hardtsee offers calm, clear water—but efficiency is still key. Our open water swim sets and technique-focused drills are designed to help you conserve energy and maintain form from start to finish.

✅ Run Strong to the Finish: The three-lap run course is flat but mentally demanding. Tempo and brick workouts simulate the final 13.1 miles, training both your body and mind for peak performance in the final stretch.

✅ Race-Specific Intensity: Integrates heart rate and power-based sessions that mirror Kraichgau’s real-world demands—helping you train smarter and avoid burnout.

✅ Built for Intermediate Triathletes: You’ll start with a 12-week base phase requiring no prior fitness, and progress through 32 weeks of focused triathlon training. Weekly hours grow gradually from 9 to a manageable 14, helping you build consistently without injury.

✅ Strength & Durability Focus: Includes expert-guided strength training, V02 intervals, anaerobic threshold sessions, and flexibility work to boost performance and recovery.

✅ Engaging & Educational: Access expert video tutorials and clear weekly goals to stay motivated and on track.

Your Best Race Starts with the Right Plan

Train with intention. Show up to Kraichgau with confidence. Let this plan take the guesswork out of your preparation—so you can focus on racing your best Half Distance Triathlon yet.
