Plan Description
Every detail of this Middle Distance Triathlon training plan is designed to prepare you—an experienced Masters athlete over 40—for the specific demands of racing in St. Pölten, Austria. Over six months, you'll build the endurance, strength, and race-specific skills needed to excel on one of Europe’s most unique and scenic triathlon courses.
✅ Tailored for the Split-Swim Format
With focused swim sessions that include open water skills, pacing, and transitions, you'll be ready for St. Pölten’s iconic two-lake swim.
🚴 Prepare for the Fast, Hilly Bike Course
The 90 KM bike route includes motorway speed sections and Lower Austrian Alps climbs. This plan features long rides with structured hill intervals and power-based sessions that simulate the 1,000 meters of elevation gain—perfect for building climbing strength and confidence on descents.
🏃 Dial In for a Fast Riverfront Run
St. Pölten's flat, crowd-filled run course demands pace control and mental focus. Your run training includes tempo efforts, negative splits, and long bricks that prepare you for race-day fatigue and the energy of the finishing stretch along the Traisen River.
👊 Masters-Specific Strength & Recovery
Your body deserves targeted care. Mobility work, strength routines, and periodized recovery weeks (3:1 cycle) help you stay strong, avoid injury, and absorb gains. Every week is structured to support how athletes over 40 train best—progressively and purposefully.
💡 Included Features That Set This Plan Apart
✔️ Video swim drills to boost technique
✔️ RPE, heart rate & power-based sessions for smarter training
✔️ Auto-synced workouts for seamless device integration
✔️ Personalized email coach support to keep you on track
