This 16-week training plan will help you prepare confidently for race day!
Geared for the advanced beginner to intermediate triathlete, this training plan includes detailed swim, bike and run workouts to help you get ready for the demands of Alpe d/ Huez.
There are 2-3 swims, 3 bike workouts, 3 runs and the option to do up to 3 strength workouts each week. Most bike workouts are compatible with Zwift. In addition to some ride elevation goals for each week, there are also suggested Zwift routes to help save you time and the stress of figuring it out yourself.

What Hypercat athletes are saying:
"I've seen incremental improvements and adjustments over the years I've used your programs. One thing that I like about the programs is that they include optional workouts for variety or individual tastes, periodization, as well as a good combo of endurance vs. speed vs. strength.
I have found that all are critical to maximize performance while minimizing acute (and overuse) injury, especially with limited training time, and the Hypercat balance of endurance vs. speed vs. strength is pretty darn close to what I've found works best for me (when I develop my own program). The added benefit is that I don't have to think of a program and worry about my guesses - sometimes it's nice to have someone else design a program and I just have to execute (for the most part - obviously, I adjust as suits my needs). My wife has even commented that I am "calmer" when using the Hypercat program - she thinks I am more confident when I head out the door and not second guessing myself."
"Thank you Coach Rachel! It is so amazing to have accomplished this half Ironman on top of a PR Wildflower and fun Alcatraz. And I could have never it all without you!! Best money I spent this year. Thank you!!"
"I just wanted to take a minute and say a big thanks for all the energy you have put into my training plan. I'm convinced that there is no other way I would have been able to complete the race without the preparation you provided. Thank you!"
"Coach Rachel, USAT Nationals was a blast. Definitely an awesome lifetime experience. I followed the training plan pretty closely and I felt great the whole time and enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you for your guidance, patience and wisdom!"
