This 23 Week starting at 12hrs building to 20hrs. This plan is ideal for an athlete who has completed the 70.3 distance and looking to race Ironman or an athlete who is looking to comfortably build up to an Ironman distance with confidence of not just finishing but finishing strong and with confidence.
The plan is structured for the time restricted athlete, keep in mind IRONMAN requires dedication of some serious hours in order to get to the finish line.If you dont have time or dedication to fit in 5-6 hr bike rides and 2-3hr Long Runs this may not be the plan for you! We want you to be SUCCESSFUL and confident with completion of this training plan!
The plan is great if you can only fit in 1x session/day weekdays but have time to dedicate two session/day on some wknds and eventually build up to 6-8 hrs over the wknds ( feel free to change days around also if you work wknds) in order to get the time and distance needed to not just finish an Ironman but complete the event with confidence!
This plan is also designed for the experienced age group athlete that has completed a full ironman distance triathlon and is looking to better their performance at the ironman distance.
Workouts are mostly based on effort or feel or RPE rate of perceived exertion, this allows each athlete to work at their own ability and not be stuck on pace metrics or data driven. This is not for the data driven athlete.This is for the athlete that is willing to listen to their body and get to know their body by feel and using your body's feedback.
I put my heart into this plan, and have not left out any of the ideas that I know have led to the success
of my professional and age group athletes. I want you to not only achieve great success through this plan, but also to really enjoy it!
This plan is a 23 week build up to your goal Ironman Race. Before starting the plan, you must be somewhat fit, injury free and with no health concerns and be able to:
- swim 2km continuously easily
- ride 2 hours easily
- run 1 hour easily
This plan ranges from 9-10hours per week of training to 18hours for the peak weeks.
A typical week includes 2-3 bike rides, 3-4 runs and 3-4 swims. Every 4th week is an easier work load to allow for adaptation and recovery. You will find from this easier week, that you are able to absorb the training, recover mentally and physically, and thus arrive the next week at a greater fitness and performance level.
It is so important to follow the principles laid out in the plan. That means to go easy when designated easy, and to go hard when designated hard.
I have left no stone unturned in this training plan.
You will have everything you need to build up successfully, and safely.
Should you have races within this 23 week block, you can always purchase my separate taper training plan which is a 10 day plan that you would insert appropriately into this plan.
So, let’s get you started on this amazing journey to be the best you can be. I hope you love it, and take great pride in executing it!!
