Plan Description

Step confidently into race day with a training plan designed specifically for the iconic Middle Distance Triathlon in St. Pölten, Austria. From the two-lake swim and alpine bike ride to the riverside run, this 24-week program prepares you for every twist, turn, and transition of this unforgettable course.

✅ Swim Preparedness for St. Pölten’s Split-Lake Format
The plan includes structured pool and open-water swim sessions with progressive drills to boost form, pace, and confidence—essential for navigating the unique split swim between Viehofner and Ratzersdorfer See. With compatibility on smartwatches, swim workouts are easily accessible, helping you build rhythm for the two-lap lake course.

🚴 Bike-Strong for the Austrian Alps
Expect long, sustained climbs and technical descents on race day. Our data-driven workouts focus on power intervals, aerobic endurance, and threshold sessions that simulate the 1,000m elevation gain on the 90K bike course. Starting on closed motorways and transitioning into alpine roads, you’ll be ready for both speed and strength with our integrated heart rate and power zone targets.

🏃 Run-Ready for the Flat and Fast Finish
Two loops along the Traisen River require pacing precision and mental stamina. This plan develops both with aerobic base work, tempo runs, and brick sessions that mirror the run’s flat terrain and lively crowd energy. Expect peak performance when it counts most—on the final stretch to the red carpet finish.

🧠 Built for High-Performance Amateurs
With up to 14.5 hours in peak weeks, you’ll move through phases of V02 Max, Anaerobic Threshold, ATP-PC sprint conditioning, and strength development. Each 3-week build cycle is followed by a recovery week to reduce fatigue and optimize gains.

🏋️ Triathlete-Specific Strength Training
Gain muscle resilience and power with targeted gym sessions designed for advanced amateurs. Build durability for hills, transitions, and sustained efforts across all disciplines.

📧 Includes Personalized Coach Support
Throughout your training, you’ll have access to coach feedback via email—ensuring you stay accountable, adapt when needed, and hit race day ready.
