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 is a shorter plan for athletes starting their training with around 30 weeks to go. A 39 week version of this plan is also available here: https://www.trainingpeaks.com/training-plans/triathlon/ironman/tp-367203/39-week-ironman-plan-heart-rate-based-3-13-hours-per-week. The longer plan involves a gentler start with more strength work so is my preference for athletes, so check out the sample week 1 below to get an idea of whether the plan is right for you before purchasing.

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
