Plan Description

Zell am See-Kaprun isn’t just another Half Distance Triathlon—From the crystal-clear waters of Lake Zell to the punishing climb up the Filzen Saddle and the fast, flat run along the lakeshore, this course challenges even seasoned athletes.

That’s exactly why our 36-Week Advanced Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is tailored to prepare you specifically for Zell am See-Kaprun’s unique demands.

✅ Swim Readiness for Lake Zell:
Our structured swim sessions focus on open-water pacing, sighting drills, and aerobic endurance—so you’re comfortable and efficient through the single-loop 1.9 km swim in cool alpine waters (17–23 °C / 63–73 °F).

✅ Bike Power for Alpine Climbs:
Conquer the ~870 m climb to Filzen Saddle (max grade ~15%) with interval sessions targeting anaerobic power, VO2 max, and climbing-specific accelerations—mirroring the course’s long alpine ascent and thrilling technical descents into Saalfelden and Maishofen.

✅ Run Precision for Lakeside Speed:
Zell’s flat, scenic two-lap run course demands pacing discipline. Our progressive tempo and threshold runs build your aerobic engine while dialing in speed and control for a strong final 21.1 km push.
