Plan Description

Half Distance Triathlon Zell am See‑Kaprun — 44‑Week Intermediate Triathlon Training Plan

Imagine gliding through crystal‑clear Lake Zell, cresting the Filzen Saddle’s 15 % pitches, then flying along the lakeside run with energy to spare. That’s exactly what this 44‑week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan prepares you to do—so you can stand on the start line confident, strong, and ready to conquer Austria’s iconic course.

✅ Swim‑Smart Conditioning
• Progressive pool sessions build endurance before shifting to open‑water workouts that simulate Lake Zell’s single‑loop format.
• Cold‑water acclimatization and sighting drills keep you relaxed in 17–23 °C (63–73 °F) conditions.

✅ Mountain‑Ready Bike Power
• Interval repeats and low‑cadence torque sets develop the strength needed for the 860 m climb to 1,280 m.
• VO₂ and Anaerobic Threshold intervals sharpen speed for the fast Pinzgauer descents, while long tempo rides groove steady pacing.

✅ Flat‑Out Run Speed
• Two‑lap brick workouts train body and mind for the lakeshore course’s flat, fast rhythm.
• Stride‑frequency drills and race‑pace progression runs lock in efficient form when legs are fatigued.

✅ Structured Strength & Mobility
• Video‑guided* sessions fortify your core, hips, and shoulders—crucial for aero stability on the bike and a strong run finish.

✅ Smart, Scalable Volume
• Start at ~9 h per week, peak at ~14 h: perfect for busy athletes over 40 seeking balanced, sustainable gains.
• Every workout includes heart‑rate and power targets so you hit the right intensity every time.
