Coaches Rob Wilby and Chris Palfreyman talk you through everything you need to know about the six months of training leading up to your Ironman. They cover: 👉 The structure of your basic week of training - frequency, intensity and duration of swims, bikes and runs. 👉 The benefits of focusing on swim technique over endurance and distance, especially in the early weeks of your training 👉 Safely increasing the duration of your long endurance swim, bikes and runs. 👉 Strategies to help you avoid overtraining, illness, injury and burnout How to change the way you approach your long run, so that you’re never sore the day after a long run again! 👉 How and when to incorporate brick runs into your training - it’s not what you might think! 👉 Why you SHOULDN’T complete your long run the day after your long ride - and the one exception to that rule 👉 How to safely approach strength and conditioning in a way that compliments your swim, bike and run training 👉 Daily nutrition approaches, ‘within session’ sports nutrition strategies, electrolyte and hydration guidelines.
