TRAININGZONE Peak performance RUN YOUR BEST EVER 70.3 SMASHING YOUR PB OR JUST SURVIVING YOUR FIRST HALF-IM FOLLOW OUR PERFECT PLANS Meet the expert Doug Hall Doug coaches novices and top-level age-groupers. He s an elite athlete and studied sport at the University of Bath THREE MONTHS is long enough to pull off a PB at Ironman 70.3. These 12-week plans for a middle-distance race progress in both volume and intensity as race day gets closer, working in a three-week build / one week easy format. The plan concludes with a 10-14-day taper to sharpen you up for the big day. There are two plans one for getting round and one for racing hard. Intermediate 70.3 miles is a long way, by anyone s standards. If this is your first attempt at the distance then this plan will help you prepare and condition your body for race day. It s aimed at triathletes who care more about getting around in one piece with a smile on their face than setting course records or qualifying for world champs. With a good balance of swim, bike, run and resting it, should see you round the course just fine, whatever your previous triathlon experiences. Advanced This plan is aimed more towards the pointy end of the field those who have done a few half-ironmans or have been competitive over the Olympic distance and want to take a serious approach to the racing. As with the get round plans, there is a good balance between swimming, biking and running, with one day off per week for essential recovery. YOU NEED TO CONSIDER FIVE MAIN AREAS: 1CONSISTENCY Both plans make the best use of time, and progress from one week to the next. Follow the plan as closely as possible without missing sessions, as you can t play catch-up with only 12 weeks to go. 2RECOVERY This doesn t mean just putting your feet up on your day off. You need to make sure you re stretching after sessions and eating correctly to provide your body with the best chance of adapting post- training. 3RACE PACE Be realistic with how fast you want to get around the course and train accordingly. 4NUTRITION Get used to what you ll be using on race day by preparing the body to accept whichever products the race organisers are using, to avoid an upset stomach on race day. 5ENJOYMENT Make sure you enjoy it! 70.3 Ironman is a massive commitment if you don t enjoy it then you ll never complete or compete to the best of your ability.
