Plan Description
Written for experienced older 'irondistance' triathletes aiming for a competitive IM race, or first time IM 50+ athletes with experience and fast times over OD and half IM distances. Based on an average of 12h training per week. The plan assumes a reasonably even ability in all disciplines.
Designed by the UK’s most experienced Iron-distance coach and athlete, Steve Lumley (BTF L3 coach, MSc) for age – group triathletes with limited time available. This plan draws on Steve’s 30+ years experience of coaching and racing all triathlon distances, including 39 I IronDistance races and 5 Hawaii qualifications himself. He has coached athletes to hundreds of full and half IM finishes. These have ranged from novice to elite and include several Hawaii world championship qualifications.
Training plan volume is between 9 and 22 hours per week, designed on a three week mesocycle with every third week an easier, recovery & test week.

"I bought one of your training plans a short while ago and I've been really enjoying it. It's simple but varied and I can see the focus of every session. I've been doing tri for 11 years now and virtually made no improvement - I raced an Olympic distance tri yesterday and got a pb by 29 minutes! To say I am chuffed is an understatement."
(Lynne Callaghan)
“Safe to say I nailed it… Entirely down to following the training you set out. I can’t thank you enough, I would never have reached my best without your help.”
(Keith Sanders)
