Beginner Full Distance Training Program. 36 weeks. (15-18 hr/wk).
Ready to conquer the ultimate endurance challenge of a Full Ironman Distance Triathlon? Look no further! Our comprehensive Beginner Full Distance Training Program is thoughtfully designed to support athletes at the early stages of their triathlon journey.
Over the course of 36 weeks, this program provides a structured and progressive approach, empowering individuals who have completed one or a few sprint or Olympic triathlons to prepare for the rigorous 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike, and 26.2-mile run.
The success of this training plan is well-documented, with over 550 BEGINNER triathletes accomplishing their first 140.6 race under its guidance. Safety remains paramount, and our plan ensures a gradual accumulation of volume and intensity to prepare participants for their "A" race with confidence and resilience.
Flexibility is built into the program to accommodate various swim, bike, and run paces. Beginning with just 3 hours per week and progressing up to an 18-hour training week, the plan is tailored to individual needs and schedules.
Athletes can personalize their experience by choosing either Heart Rate or Rate of Perceived Effort as their training metric, and the plan emphasizes Zone 2 (easy to moderate intensity) to build aerobic capacity effectively.
