Plan Description
Our 36-week Intermediate Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is designed specifically to help you master the terrain, control the pace, and race with confidence on this stunning yet demanding Austrian course.
🏊 Swim Preparation
Lake Zell’s 1.9 km single-loop swim offers clear water and calm conditions — but pacing and sighting are key. Our plan introduces open water swim skills, targeted endurance sets, and technique drills early on so you can stay smooth and efficient from the Strandbad Seespitz start to the old town turn.
🚴 Bike-Specific Strength & Climbing Power
With ~860–870 m of climbing, including the steep ascent to the 1,280 m Filzen Saddle, the ~90 km bike course demands climbing legs and technical skill for fast descents. Our training builds cycling strength from day one with hill simulations, progressive long rides, and threshold intervals — prepping you for the sustained climb and confident downhill riding into Saalfelden.
🏃 Run Efficiency & Pacing on a Flat, Fast Course
The two-lap 21.1 km run along Lake Zell's shoreline is deceptively fast. You’ll benefit from tempo runs, race-pace simulation, and brick workouts designed to help you transition off the bike and hold your pace through Zell’s scenic old town and beyond.
