the loneliness of a long distance athlete

Online and 1-2-1 Personal Coaching

TRAINING PLAN OVERVIEW

This training programme is designed to guide you through a full 24wks of training and be prepared ready for race day at a half-ironman (70.3) or a Full Ironman ( 140.6 ) both  distances is a major physical challenge and it is very important that you are ready to undergo the training. We advise anybody taking part in an event like this has to be in good health, seek advice from your GP if you are in anyway unsure of your physical readiness to complete the training and the race. Do not underestimate what it takes to complete a full or a  half-ironman, be well prepared by following the training programme closely and spend time blending the training into your lifestyle.

This programme is a 24 or 36  week programme, this means that it is a schedule to lead all the way up to race day and is ideally for those athletes who have some prior experience of triathlon.

The Plan Includes:

- Swim, Bike, Run and Transition Sessions (Bricks)
- Train to RPE or Heart Rate or Power for the run and swim
- Power sessions for the bike so you can use with Zwift, Garmin , Fulgaz etc
- Access to your coach via email and through Skype
- Training and Racing Tips

The programme is broken down into 3 main phases that help you to progress physically and the objectives of each phase are explained in more detail prior to each phase. The phases are namely, Base, Build and Peak/Taper.

The programme is designed to explain each period, each week and each session in detail. The layout of the programme shows you each week in turn, where possible you should stick to the structure as it has been laid out in the best possible nature for you to physically train. The schedule is based on an athlete having more available training time at weekends.

There is 1 REST day per week, this should be a day of complete rest, no exercise!

This programme does not include any training races, however you are strongly encouraged to take part in some training races as an opportunity to experiment with equipment, clothing, nutrition and race pace strategies. When preparing for a full you should consider doing a half ironman 6-8 weeks before race day . half-ironman you should consider using an Olympic distance race as a warm up, this should be done approximately 4-6wks before race day, you are also encouraged to think about cyclo-sportives as a way to boost your cycling. Over this distance the long training sessions and BRICK workouts are just as crucial as racing.
