Plan Description

12 Week 70.3 Ironman Training Plan - Advanced


 


Ironman Swim Start"> Stop Guessing. Start Training With Purpose.
 

Designed by accredited Triathlon and Endurance running coach Grant Hornsby, this 12-week structured Half Ironman program removes the uncertainty from training and provides a proven pathway to race-day success.


 

Every swim, bike and run session has been carefully designed to develop the physiological attributes required to perform at your best over the 70.3 distance.


 

Whether you're chasing a personal best, aiming for the podium, or simply striving to become the fastest version of yourself, this program provides the structure, progression and accountability needed to get there.


 

What's Included


 

  • ✅ 12 weeks of structured training

  • ✅ Detailed swim, bike and run workouts

  • ✅ Compatible with TrainingPeaks and most GPS devices

  • ✅ Progressive session design with clear race-specific objectives

  • ✅ Strategic recovery and overload cycles

  • ✅ Proven endurance coaching methodology


 

Weekly Structure


 

  • 3 Swim Sessions

  • 4 Bike Sessions

  • 3 Run Sessions


 

Every workout includes specific pacing and intensity guidance, so you know exactly how hard to train and why.


 

Why This Program Works


 

Unlike generic online plans that simply prescribe distance and duration, this program is built around five core principles:


 

  • Consistency

  • Intelligent Pacing

  • Progressive Overload

  • Structured Recovery

  • Purposeful Repetition


 

Each session is included for a particular physiological reason and contributes to a specific performance outcome.
