Plan Description
Specifically built for the unique demands of the Middle Distance Triathlon in St. Pölten, Austria, this 44-week training plan prepares you to race strong across the swim, bike, and run segments—all while giving you the structure, progression, and support you need to excel on race day.
✅ Swim-Ready for St. Pölten's Two-Lake Format
You’ll be fully prepared for the distinctive split-swim across Viehofner and Ratzersdorfer See. Structured pool and open-water sessions enhance your endurance, pacing, and sighting skills—ensuring you’re race-ready for both legs of the swim and the quick land crossing in between.
✅ Climb Strong & Descend Fast on the Bike
The 90 KM bike course includes smooth tarmac, a motorway section, and 1,000 meters of elevation gain. Our plan integrates specific workouts to build aerobic endurance, threshold climbing strength, and anaerobic power, so you can handle sustained efforts on the climbs and maximize your speed on descents and flats.
✅ Crush the Fast, Flat Run Course
Two loops along the Traisen River call for pacing precision and muscular endurance. The program’s run-specific blocks combine tempo runs, brick sessions, and interval training to help you finish strong on race day—right into the roaring crowd and onto the red carpet finish.
🏁 B and C Race Integration
Strategically placed B and C races sharpen your race-day tactics and test your progress in realistic scenarios, helping you gain confidence and race experience long before your A-race in Austria.
💪 Built for Amateur Advanced Athletes
