Plan Description
Set against the stunning backdrop of Austria’s Alps, the Half Distance Triathlon Zell am See-Kaprun is a demanding yet breathtaking race. From the crisp, clear waters of Lake Zell to the steep climbs of the Filzen Saddle and the flat, fast run along the lakeshore—this race demands strategic preparation, especially for athletes over 60. Our 36-week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan for Senior Triathletes 60+ is built specifically to help you tackle this course with strength, resilience, and confidence.
✅ Swim Preparedness: The plan includes video-guided drills and structured swim workouts to help you navigate Lake Zell’s single-loop course with improved technique and efficiency—even if you're starting from scratch.
✅ Climb-Ready Cycling: With ascents of up to 15% and a summit at 1,280 m, the bike course is no joke. You'll build endurance and power through structured heart rate and power-based rides, threshold sessions, and brick workouts that mimic the terrain and transitions of Zell am See.
✅ Run Efficiency: The two-lap flat run demands steady pacing and durability. Through aerobic endurance sessions, VO2 max workouts, and neuromuscular drills, you’ll develop the stamina and efficiency to hold pace to the finish.
✅ Built for Athletes 60+: This plan respects the recovery needs of senior triathletes, using a 2:1 work-to-recovery periodization and beginning with a 12-week base phase to safely rebuild strength, mobility, and cardiovascular health—ideal if you’re returning after a break.
✅ Strength and Resilience: Stay race-ready and injury-resistant with age-appropriate resistance training that helps preserve muscle mass, bone density, and overall mobility.
✅ Smart, Time-Efficient Training: Starts at 7.5 hours/week and peaks at 12 hours/week. Every session has a purpose—no fluff, just focused, science-based progression.
Whether you're eyeing Zell am See-Kaprun as your first Half Distance Triathlon or returning to conquer it once again, this plan gives you the structure, support, and confidence to train smart and race strong.
