Plan Description
This 36-week Intermediate Middle Distance Triathlon Training Plan is built to prepare you specifically for the unique demands of the St. Pölten course—from its split-lake swim to the breathtaking alpine bike course and fast riverside run.
✅ Swim Prep for St. Pölten’s Two-Lake Format
The plan begins with a focus on swim strength and technique—essential for navigating the clear, calm waters of Viehofner and Ratzersdorfer See. You'll build confidence for the short land crossing between lakes and the fast-paced transition. Open water sessions and sighting drills prepare you for race-day precision.
✅ Bike Training for Elevation and Speed
This course demands both climbing power and high-speed control. With structured heart rate and power-based intervals, you'll develop strength for the 1,000 meters of elevation gain and the stamina to sustain speed on the descents and flats. Simulated long rides and brick sessions are included to mirror the intensity of racing through the Lower Austrian Alps.
✅ Run Workouts Aligned with a Fast Riverside Course
The flat, shaded course around the Traisen River rewards rhythm and durability. Our plan guides you through threshold intervals, aerobic build runs, and back-to-back bricks so you can maintain pace over two loops—feeling strong even as you approach the finish line through downtown St. Pölten’s electric atmosphere.
