From the split-lake swim to the alpine bike climbs and riverside run, every detail of your training is aligned with what you'll face on race day.

✅ Swim-Specific Prep for a Unique Format
Prepare for St. Pölten’s signature two-lake swim with drills that focus on open water pacing, sighting, and efficiency. You’ll build confidence with progressive swim workouts and practice land-to-water transitions—crucial for the carpeted crossing between Viehofner and Ratzersdorfer See.

✅ Bike Workouts for Fast, Rolling Terrain
Climb stronger and ride smarter with structured interval sessions designed for the 90 KM one-loop course. You’ll train for elevation gains (approx. 1,000m), master controlled descents, and build endurance for the fast motorway start and smooth alpine roads.

✅ Run Training That Mirrors the Course
The flat, looped 21.1 KM run around the Traisen River demands pacing discipline and mental toughness. This plan includes tempo runs, brick sessions preparing your legs and mind to thrive on race day, even as the crowd noise rises.
