Plan Description
The Half Distance Triathlon in Zell am See-Kaprun is as breathtaking as it is challenging—featuring a 1.9 km swim in crystal-clear Lake Zell, a stunning yet demanding 90 km bike ride climbing up to 1,280 m, and a fast, flat 21.1 km run that loops around the lakeshore and through Zell’s historic town center.
Our 44-week Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan for athletes 60 and over is thoughtfully crafted to help you meet the unique demands of this race while honoring your body’s needs. Whether you're returning to triathlon or starting your endurance journey later in life, this plan sets you up for success with smart, sustainable training.
✅ Race-Specific Endurance
Long, steady aerobic sessions prepare you for the sustained effort of the single-loop bike and two-lap run courses—especially the steep pitches up to Filzen Saddle.
✅ Swim Confidence
Technique-focused swim workouts and open water prep help you feel relaxed and efficient in Lake Zell’s variable temperatures (17–23 °C / 63–73 °F).
✅ Climbing Strength
Intervals sessions and progressive cycling workouts build the leg strength needed for the course’s 860–870 m of elevation gain—and the control for its thrilling descents.
✅ Age-Appropriate Recovery
Designed with a 2:1 work-to-recovery cycle to support proper adaptation, reduce injury risk, and keep you feeling fresh throughout the plan.
✅ Functional Strength & Bone Health
Targeted resistance training maintains mobility, posture, and joint integrity—crucial for navigating uneven terrain and mastering transitions.
✅ Race-Day Ready Running
Flat, fast run sessions help you lock in pacing and build confidence to cruise through Zell am See’s scenic shoreline with ease.
✅ Technology-Integrated Training
Fully compatible with Garmin, smartwatches, and popular platforms to track heart rate, power, and RPE—no spreadsheets or guesswork.
🎯 Now’s the time to commit to your goals. This plan isn’t just a schedule—it’s a complete system tailored to your life stage, with personalized email coach support to answer questions, adjust for setbacks, and keep you on track.
