Plan Description
In this training plan, British Triathlon High Performing Coach and IRONMAN Certified Coach Simon Olney will help you achieve your dream of becoming an Ironman.
This plan is designed for athletes who have signed up to their event well in advance and wants to start training right away. We start with a relatively gentle preparation phase where we get the body used to training six days a week, and build the foundations to prevent injury and set us up for a successful base phase. As we move into the base phase we build our FTP and really start to increase the length of our long rides. By the time we're 3 months out from our event we put our foot down and really put in the work to ensure race day is as successful as possible.
I have written this plan with the dedicated athlete in mind who wants to do themselves justice on the course, putting in a time they are proud of, rather than the bare minimum to finish. The longest run of three hours and longest ride of six hours ensure we won't be outside of our comfort zone come race day.
To follow this plan you will require:
A road bike or triathlon bike
Access to a pool
A turbo trainer that measures power
Running shoes and suitable trails/roads for running
A GPS watch
Ideally a power meter, although power zones outside can be substituted for heart rate zones for rides outside
When purchasing this plan you can E-mail me with any questions you have about training or the race and I'll do my best to help you. I can be reached at Simon@phazontriathlon.com
