Unsure how to train for your first Ironman 70.3?
Have you been asking yourself the following:
- How much training is needed to finish?
- When should you be resting?
- What to focus on at different times in the plan?
- How am I going to fit it all in?
We know how it feels!
Having a busy work life, relaxing family time, and fun social life isn't out of reach when training for an IRONMAN 70.3©. Yes, you will spend some time training, but using one of our specifically designed plans will ensure you maximise your training time and minimise the disruptions to the rest of your life. You can have a life outside of triathlon when training for a 70.3, and we have created our plans with that in mind. Our low-volume plans never go above 11.5 hours a week, even at peak volume, and we always aim to keep weekday sessions under 60 minutes to ensure you are still able to fit all your other commitments in. Coupled with built-in rest and recovery along with key focuses for each week of your plan, you will be able to get to the start line well-trained, ready to race and feeling great!
Why choose one of our training plans?
We focus on three key things.
We don't believe in shortcuts or gimmicks; we build our plans with tried and tested methods to get you to the start line in the best shape possible. Our focus is:
1. Building your endurance
2. Building your skills
3. Maximising your training time
How do we build your endurance?
All of our plans include focused aerobic building sessions that push your fitness up over time to allow your body to adapt at a manageable rate.
Why do we build your skills?
You may have all the endurance in the world, but if you can't swim, bike or run efficiently, you will be wasting all of that hard-earned fitness.
How do we maximise your time?
By building our plans to include focused time-efficient sessions, we can help you gain your fitness in the smallest amount of time possible.
We use Training Peaks to build all of our plans, which allows you to have great flexibility, and the ability to personalise your training zones and get daily reminders. Which is even able to integrate your training into all major training devices (Garmin, Apple etc.) and training software such as Zwift, Trainer Road and Rouvy
Our plans are expertly created by our British Triathlon Level 3, IRONMAN© + TrainingPeaks Level 2 Certified Coach, Coach Chris, who has 20 years of coaching experience. Using well-established training practices, he ensures you are getting the best type of training for your experience.
