Plan Description
Who is this Plan for?
If you're looking for new races to tackle, be it an IRONMAN or IRONMAN 70.3 events, and you are in the process of planning your upcoming goals, this plan will help you to stay fit for 8 weeks while allowing your body to rest and prepare for the new challenges. The specialty of this plan is that it does not require access to the pool for swim training - swim workouts are replaced by swim-specific strength exercises that do not require gym equipment.
Plan Highlights
The plan has one or two swim strength, bike and run workouts per week, some of them being structured, like sprints, intervals, tempo or steady-states.
The last weeks of the plan include FTP and LTHR/LTP tests, so you will know your form baseline after completing it. That will help you adjusting HR/pace zones for starting a race-goal-based plan.
If you won't make up your mind regarding your next big race, feel free to start over this plan again. Just be sure to update your Threshold pace according to FTP and LTHR/LTP test workout results.
The plan is based on a percentage of your calculated Threshold Pace (it applies to bike and run workouts). Run workouts also refer to RPE 1-10 (Rating of Perceived Exertion) scale to help you to develop your 'pace by feel'.
The plan is compatible with Garmin devices so you will have structured workouts delivered straight to your watch when using the AutoSync feature after connecting your TrainingPeaks and Garmin Connect accounts. However, please check your device compatibility in the Garmin/TrainingPeaks website.
