Then stick a expert copy of your training plan onto the fridge so everyone can see it. Phil Mosley The longest run I’ve set is two Coaching editor of Triathlon Plus Mosley hours. I know you’ll be out for longer has coached dozens of triathletes to on race day, but keeping it lower Ironman success enables you to train consistently, rather than breaking down with injury iROnMAn is the ultimate test of and fatigue. After all, it’s what you do triathlon endurance, and with 12 regularly in training that counts, not weeks left there’s no room for what you do once or twice. I’ve read messing about. it’s time to knuckle that multiple Ironman World Champ down, or it’ll be a very long day out. Dave Scott never ran further than 13 thankfully these plans are designed miles in training either, and it didn’t to get you fit and race ready do him any harm. Finally, regardless of without taking over your life. they what the plan says, if you start losing follow on from the ironman your appetite, struggle to sleep or Foundation plan we published in become abnormally grumpy take at triathlon Plus issue 23. Don’t worry least a couple of days rest. if you didn’t see it, because as long as you’ve trained consistently over the last 12 weeks, there’s no reason Coach’s Tips why you can’t start now. Train in your race kit when possible There are two plans to choose from Train using the same nutrition you plan here, one for the ‘time poor’ which to use on race day takes up to 13 hours per week, and Train on your race-day bike when possible one for ‘time rich’ which takes anything up to 16 hours. They’re by no means easy – after all you’ll be racing are these plans for you? a 3.8km swim, 112-mile bike ride and 26.2-mile run, but the sessions do To start these Ironman training plans you should already be able to: progress over time, so it doesn’t all Swim 2,500m front crawl, non-stop come at once.

  • 2. The plan Ironman: Time poor Training Zones Yo 12-wur Fold2 Using these Training Zones will help you train at the right intensity for each session. This helps develop specific aspects of your fitness, ee plan k as well as making sure you don’t overdo it. You can either estimate your intensity using the Training Zone descriptions, or use a heart- rate monitor for a more precise measure. If you use a heart-rate monitor, use the percentages provided and subtract them from your maximum heart rate to calculate your zones. Tools like cycle power meters and GPS watches will also help track your training progress, but they’re not essential for these plans. These training zones are only a guide, so don’t worry about being overly precise with heart rates because they’ll fluctuate anyway. It’s good to be mindful of your intensity but it’s even more important that you get out there and enjoy your training. Zone 1: Recovery 60 to 65% of max. Easy pace, feels nice and light. Zone 2: Steady 65 to 75% of max. Fairly easy pace. Easy enough so that you could breathe just through your nose if you wanted to. Zone 3: Tempo 75% to 80% of max. Fairly hard but sustainable pace. Zone 4: Race Tempo 13 hours per week 80 to 90% of max. Hard pace.

  • 4. The plan Ironman: TIme rICH TRaining Zones Yo 12-Wur Fold2 Using these Training Zones will help you train at the right intensity for each session. This helps develop specific aspects of your fitness, ee plan k as well as making sure you don’t overdo it. You can either estimate your intensity, using the Training Zone descriptions, or use a heart- rate monitor for a more precise measure. If you use a heart rate monitor, use the percentages provided and subtract them from your maximum heart rate to calculate your zones. Tools like cycle power meters and GPS watches will also help track your training progress, but they’re not essential for these plans. These training zones are only a guide, so don’t worry about being overly-precise with heart rates because they’ll fluctuate anyway. It’s good to be mindful of your intensity but it’s even more important that you get out there and enjoy your training. Zone 1: Recovery 60 to 65% of max. Easy pace, feels nice and light. Zone 2: steady 65 to 75% of max. Fairly easy pace. Easy enough so that you could breathe just through your nose if you wanted to. Zone 3: tempo 75% to 80% of max. Fairly hard but sustainable pace. Zone 4: Race tempo 16 hours per week 80 to 90% of max. Hard pace. Sustainable, but requires real focus. ironman KeY WU Warm up WD Warm down MAin Main set FC Front crawl PULL Frontcrawl using a pull float Ri Rest interval BUiLD Swim each 25m slightly faster than the previous K Kick ns Negative split (swim the second half of a rep faster than the first) ReC Recovery DesC Descending (swim each rep peak For an ironman with this traininG faster than the one before) Bi Bilateral (breathe every third stroke) BReAst Breaststroke BACK Backstroke plan, which takes up to 16 hours per week staY in the training Zone with TRiaThlon plus Fold1 week 01 week 02 week 03 week 04 AM Swim 2,550m.
