This 13-Week training plan is for experienced triathletes looking to comfortably complete their first half-ironman distance event (1.2 miles of swimming, 56 miles of cycling and 13.1 miles of running.) This plan is for the experienced triathlete, who has completed several sprint and Olympic distance races.
You can currently swim three times per week for about an hour, estimating a race swim pace of 1:45 to 2:00 per 100 yards. You are currently doing a long bike ride at about 90-minutes and you estimate an average of 15 to 18 miles per hour for the race. You can currently do a long run that is about 75-minutes long. Weekday training needs to be light, but weekend training hours are more available. The total training hours for the first week of the plan are 8:00 (please see the Plan Preview) and the biggest week of training, Week 11, is 10:30. The long run builds to 2:00 and the long ride builds to 4:00.
The major differences between this plan and the 13-Week Intermediate plan are training volume, the volume of training above Zone 2 and the format of long training days. (In this plan the long run is on Saturday and the long ride is Sunday. In the intermediate plan the long run is Sunday and the long ride is Saturday.) Of course there is also one more week of training with this plan.
Plan is available in the book “Training Plans for Multisport Athletes”
Are you an experienced and fit triathlete looking for a new challenge, maybe a longer race? Well how about a half-ironman distance event? This 12-Week plan might be just what you need, read on.
You are a triathlete with experience at sprint and Olympic-distance racing. You keep in good condition most of the year. You currently swim two to three times per week and this may or may not be with a masters team. You are cycling two to three days per week and a two-hour ride is normal for you. You run two to three days per week, with the long run of the week lasting about an hour. Strength training may or may not be part of your weekly routine. A suggested strength training routine is included in the plan for athletes wanting to compliment their endurance training with strength training.
In short, you think of yourself as an intermediate triathlete with a good base of swimming, cycling and running. You've thought about racing longer distances, but just haven't gotten around to making yourself a plan. If this description fits you, this may be the plan you’ve been looking for.
You can view a portion of the plan by selecting Plan Preview. Throughout the plan, weekly training hours range from 7:15 to 14:15. This plan builds the long run to 2:15 and the long ride to 4:30. This plan includes more weekly training volume and more workout time at higher intensities than does the 13-Week Half-Ironman Distance Beginner Plan.

Wow, I wish I could be an ironman—I mean, just finish the event. I’d be happy to step across that awesome line and receive a finisher’s medal around my neck. (Big sigh.) I’ve got too much going on in my life to think about an ironman distance event and I’m not good enough. I mean, those folks have a training schedule that looks like a part-time job, swim like speed boats, ride a bike at Mach 1 for 112 miles and then run an entire marathon looking like the Roadrunner dancing away from Wiley Coyote. There is no way I’ll ever have enough time or speed—even in my wildest dreams. Finishing an ironman distance event is out of my reach…
If the words above read as though they came from your personal thought-bubble, I disagree with you. There is a common misperception that in order to complete an ironman distance event, one must train 20 to 30 hours per week and average speeds that few athletes can accomplish. To comfortably complete an ironman distance event, 20 to 30 hours per week of training is simply not necessary. The average speed needed is not that of The Roadrunner. So, what does it take?
For race day, if you estimate it is possible to swim 2.4 miles at a pace of 2’50” per 100 yards (2:00 swim time), ride 112 miles averaging 15.7 miles per hour (7:08 bike time), run or run/walk 26.2 miles at a 12’47” pace per mile (5:38 marathon time) and add about 30 minutes in for transitions, these times make it possible to finish an ironman race in 15:16. That gives you 1:44 of “reserve” time for unforeseen problems. Ironman is possible.
This 16-week plan begins with Week 1 between 5:30 and 6:30 total training time. The long run begins at 1:00 and the long ride between 1:30 and 2:00. (See the plan preview.) The plan builds fitness so you swim 1:30, run about 3:00 and ride about 6:00 on the weekend of Week 12. The total training for Week 12 is between 13:15 and 14:15. Yes, that amount of training is enough. After Week 12, a few weeks of tapering volume has you rested and ready to go on race day.

This 13-Week training plan is for experienced triathletes looking to comfortably complete their first ironman distance event (2.4 miles of swimming, 112 miles of cycling and 26.2 miles of running.) This famous training plan, Thirteen Weeks to a Thirteen-Hour Ironman, has helped countless athletes successfully complete their first ironman event. This plan is for the experienced triathlete, who has completed several sprint and Olympic distance races.
You can currently swim three times per week for about an hour, estimating a race swim pace of 1:45 to 2:00 per 100 yards. You are currently doing a long bike ride at about 90-minutes and you estimate an average of 15 to 18 miles per hour for the race. You can currently do a long run that is 75- to 90-minutes long. Weekday training needs to be light, but weekend training hours are more available. The total training hours for the first week of the plan are 8:45 and the biggest week of training, Week 11, is 13:15 hours.
In Week 11 are your longest workouts. On Saturday you have a 1:30 swim workout and a 5:00 bike ride. Sunday is a 3:00 run. Volume tapers significantly the final two weeks of the plan to have you rested and ready for race day.
Originally appeared in the June 1999 issue of “Triathlete” magazine
Plan is available in the book “Training Plans for Multisport Athletes”
This is the sister plan to the famous “Thirteen Weeks to a Thirteen-Hour Ironman Distance” plan and is appropriately titled “Thirteen Weeks to a Sub-Thirteen Hour Ironman Distance Race.” If it is possible to train to successfully finish an ironman distance event in 13 hours with 13 weeks of preparation, not training over 13 hours in any given week; how about breaking the 13-hour mark in 13 weeks of training? It is that very question that inspired me to design this plan.
This plan is for the experienced triathlete, who currently averages 12 hours of training per week. You can swim two to three times per week for about an hour. You ride two or three days per week and a three-hour ride is easy and normal for you. You run two or three days per week and can comfortably run long for between 1:30 and 1:45.
You can see if the plan is right for you by having a look at the Plan Preview. Weekly training hours for the plan are between 7:15 and 18:00. To best utilize the plan you need to know your T-Pace in swimming (see the Swimming Intensity document) and heart rate zones discussed in the Intensity document.
Originally appeared in the June 2001 issue of “Triathlete” magazine
TriSmart Training Systems has created a 12 week Build/Peak/Race training plan designed to help a triathlete get ready for their Half Ironman/70.3 "A" Race. TriSmart has geared this program to someone who has completed Base training, currently trains 10-13 hours a week, can run 13 miles at a time comfortably, cycle 50 miles comfortably, swim 2500 yards comfortably, and can commit up to 13 hours per week in the hardest weeks. This plan can be used with a heart rate monitor but it is not necessary.
This is a short-term Build and Peak Plan for an athlete who wants to be competitive in their age-group for an upcoming 70.3/Half-Ironman, with a Saturday race. The plan starts 6-weeks prior to the race and assumes an athlete is coming in with good fitness, and wants to get in a strong block of training to prepare them specifically for the half-ironman, to do well and be competitive.
Designed for the FITNESS to COMPETITIVE athlete, this ultimate half Ironman training program by
6x Ironman World Champion Dave Scott draws on his 30+ years of experience as an athlete and coach.
This plan starts out with moderate volume and intensity at 11.5 hours per week and builds to 13.5 hours per week over the course of the plan prior to tapering to prepare you optimally for race day. The 3 to 4 sessions each week per discipline (swim, bike, run) include progressive workloads with unique marker sets, which will determine your optimal race pace. Brick workouts are included to further enhance your race preparation by allowing you to monitor your nutritional needs. Monday is the designated day off.
Successfully racing the half Ironman distance requires an element of speed so this plan includes some anaerobic, higher intensity session that you will give you a higher metabolic return than only doing moderate intensities.
This program may be set to start or end at any time for a goal race that takes place on a Saturday. If your race is on Sunday, please chose the Sunday version of Dave's plan.
This program can be adjusted to fit your shortened training schedule if you miss the first few weeks. If you can complete 70%+ of the workouts, you will see results through race-simulated sets and bricks that replicate the physical and psychological tests of your race.
Included: This plan comes with Dave’s comprehensive
Triathlon Training Plan Guide explaining Dave’s training methodology and all the workout terminology plus video training tips by Dave covering optimal fueling, proper pacing, mental training tactics, race day strategy and more!

This is an 18 week plan which assumes athletes have been active, although not necessarily training. Athletes who are ranked similarly in their age-group throughout the swim, bike and run will find this plan especially helpful. It is also for the intermediate-level triathlete.
This plan takes a balanced approached to training and preparation, understanding the bike and run will be the two biggest factors in your race performance. Some may find that certain sports do not get trained enough, but key factors to performing well have been considered when designing this plan. The plan is great for athletes with a HR monitor, but also those without.
The plan follows a Linear Periodization model which will stress athletes, with recovery periods to allow for proper recovery and adaptation. If athletes follow the workouts as listed and suggested, they will see the benefit of performing at your peak for the half-ironman! If athletes modify the plan, and do not follow the guidelines of the daily workouts, the results may vary.
This is a 12 week Half-Ironman Base Training Plan for intermediate to advanced levels athletes, or beginners with a strong endurance background. This plan assumes you can run 40 minutes without issue, and builds from there. The weekly training hours are between 11 and 16. After 12 weeks of this base training, the athlete should be ready and able to begin to train more specifically for the half-ironman of their choice, meaning race-specific intensities, with the race event happening within the next 16 weeks of this plan ending. It is important that the athlete follow the intensities prescribed in this plan, in order to maximize its effectiveness.
This is an 8 week Half-Ironman Base Training Plan for intermediate to advanced levels athletes, or beginners with a strong endurance background.

After 8 weeks of this base training, the athlete should be ready and able to begin to train more specifically for the half-ironman of their choice, meaning race-specific intensities, with the race event happening within the next 12 weeks of this plan ending. It is important that the athlete follow the intensities prescribed in this plan, in order to maximize its effectiveness.
This is a 16 week plan which assumes athletes can currently complete a 1 hour run, 2.5 hour bike ride, and are confident they can make the swim cut-off with minimal swim training, (3 swims per week). The plan consists of only 5 days of workouts per week, set-up as every Monday and Friday completely off from training. Long runs are on Wednesdays, with Saturday and Sunday normally used for bigger bike days. There is also one bike workout per week to be completed on a bike trainer.
Training weeks start at 8 hours, and get as high as one week of 17 hours. The average is 12-14 hours of training per week, with an Ironman race to be completed on a Saturday.

This plan has been modified so the weekday training is held to no more than 90 minutes per day. The weekends have training on both days and there are a few overload weekends with long rides on both days.
This plan assumes that you have completed one of my Base modules and have established your endurance.
While the average training load is 11 hours per week, this plan is challenging because the key workouts are very specific to your needs as a Half Ironman athlete. Where appropriate, I have explained how experienced athletes can beef up the plan a bit.
Strength training is not emphasized but I have placed one strength session per week into the plan.
There is an important Half Ironman simulation workout that falls six weeks out from your goal race. You can substitute a B-, or C-, priority event for this race. An Olympic Distance race would be the most appropriate choice. If you are new to Half Ironman racing then, I believe, you will get the most benefit from following my race simulation workout that weekend.
The swimming program is focused on distance freestyle improvement with main set distance capped around 3000 meters (3300 yards). Where appropriate, I have explained how to dial the program up, or down.
The plan is appropriate for athletes racing all distances with weekly volume ranging from 8 to 13 hours per week.
Swim - up to 3,300 yards / 3,000 meters
Bike - up to 40 miles / 65 kilometers
Run - up to 10 miles / 16 kilometers
I hope you enjoy,

This session falls on Monday in the first 6 weeks of the plan and Wednesday in the second 6 weeks of the plan. Within my own training I would use two session per week until the until the final two weeks of the plan. If you want to place a second strength session then the combo that fits best is Monday/Friday (first 6 weeks) and Wednesday/Sunday (next 4 weeks)

TriSmart Training Systems has created a 12 week training plan designed to help a triathlete peak/taper for their Ironman race. TriSmart has geared this program to an athlete who has already completed 4-6 months of base building and who currently trains 12-15 hours a week, The athlete should be able to run for 2 hours, cycle for 4-5 hours (80 miles) miles comfortably, swim for 1 hour (3500 yards). This plan can be used with a heart rate monitor but it is not necessary.
This plan assumes that you have completed one of my Base modules and have established your endurance.
The best way to incorporate this plan into your seaon is to complete one of my 15 week base modules that ends with a Half Ironman race. Then... take 2-3 weeks of lighter training to recover from the race and prepare for the Specific Preparation block.
If you are racing a late season Ironman event then I recommend you phase your year as either: Base/Base/IM Specific Prep; or Base/Half IM Specific Prep/IM Specific Prep. Drop me a line if you want my advice on how best to play it.
Remember that Ironman is a LONG day for everyone. You will see that the key workouts of this block are designed to build your endurance and help teach you what it takes to run well and finish strong.
The core load varies between 11 and 14 hours per week. Rather than dropping weekly volume way down in recovery weeks, I have built in mini-recovery-blocks of 3-5 days duration.
Strength training is not emphasized but I have placed one strength session per week into the plan. This session falls on Wednesday. Within my own training I would use two session per week until the until the final two weeks of the plan. If you want to place a second strength session then the combo that fits best is Wednesday/Sunday.
The swimming program is focused on distance freestyle improvement with main set distance capped around 3200 meters (3500 yards). Where appropriate, I have explained how to dial the program up, or down.
I hope you enjoy,

Use this in conjuction with the exercise component that you're following either from your coach or independently- the perfect synergy!
This 12 week plan tells you exactly what to do and how to eat in those final crucial 3 months before your Ironman triathlon. If you want zero guesswork during the crucial preparatory phase, and want to know how to train and what to eat, then this plan is for you!
This is a 13 week Ironman BASE Training Plan. Athletes should be able to run at least for 45 minutes, bike for 2 hours, and be able to make the swim cut off time prior to beginning this program.

The weekly volume for this plan begins at 11 hours to a maximum of 16 hours per week. Each week includes 3 swims, 3 runs, and 3 bikes, with Monday being a rest day.
You can use a heart rate monitor, pace or power meter, or just train by perceived exertion with this plan. Attached to this plan is a document that details the training terms and definitions for your reference. Feel free to contact Scott Iott at siott@trainingbible.com if you have any questions.
This 16 week plan provides the workouts you will need to succeed at your first or second Iron distance race. Prior athletes using only this plan completed Ironman in times ranging from 12:00 to 13:15.
We can adjust the races in between the start of the plan and Ironman. I suggest a couple of Olympic Distance races as well as a Half Iron if possible. If you are not up for paying for an additional Half, we can simulate the effort.
Good luck and welcome aboard!

This plan is developed for the athlete who has not completed a 1/2 IM distance triathlon, but has completed an Olympic or Sprint distance triathlon and is looking for a basic program designed to comfortably finish a 1/2 IM Triathlon. This plan is 16 weeks in duration and consists of 2 workouts per week in each sport with 2 additional weight training sessions. The total volume is between 5-9 hours a week. The athlete should be able to swim 1500 yards in one session, bike for 2 hour in one session and run/walk for 60 minutes in one session. It is NOT essential that the triathlete be able to match these distance, but it is encouraged.
This plan is targeted for an athlete with at least 1-2 years of triathlon experience. Because of the hill work in the plan it is ideal for a course like IM Coeur d'Alene.
Along with building the volume of the three disciplines to provide the athlete with the confidence of having a solid finish in an Ironman-distance triathlon, this plan will help the athlete build swim/bike/run-specific strength during the training with muscle tension intervals and hill repeats. The full spectrum of cardiovascular development is also targeted to provide the athlete with the greatest chance of increasing his/her aerobic capacity.
The plan is periodized with a rest week every fourth week and has a three-week linear taper to allow the athlete to absorb the training dose.
This 16-week plan is targeted for an athlete with at least 1-2 years of triathlon experience. It is ideal for a half-Ironman distance-race such as Oliver that has a relatively flat run course.
This plan has two rest days per week (M/F) with the long run and bike stacked on the weekend days (Sat/Sun). A brick workout occurs on alternating weekends from the long bike/long run weekends.
If the athlete is starting the training plan with a solid endurance base, you may choose to lengthen the long run/long bike based on your preference and fitness level as long as rest weeks maintain reduced volume.
Along with building the volume of the three disciplines to provide the athlete with the confidence of having a solid finish in an Half-Ironman-distance triathlon, this plan will help the athlete build bike-specific strength during the training with muscle tension intervals and hill repeats. The full spectrum of cardiovascular development is also targeted in all three disciplines to provide the athlete with the greatest chance of increasing his/her aerobic fitness.
The plan is periodized with a slight rest week every fourth week and has a three-week linear taper to allow the athlete to fully absorb the training dose.
Enjoy and Happy Training!

This program is designed for ALL levels, because it includes specific testing sessions to identify your customized intensities for each workout. Are you a busy person who still wants to compete in Ironman? Then this Quality Over Quantity plan is for you, with just 8-12 hours of training per week, and detailed daily workouts written by Ben Greenfield. Each session is based on the concept that high intensity interval training results in superior endurance adaptations, compared to high volume training.
Designed for beginner to intermediate age group triathletes, this 12-week training plan is for athletes who have been active, but not necessarily training. It is perfect for athletes with jobs and full lives.
Written by USA Triathlon-certified coach and EPIC Tri Coach Michele Gay, this plan incorporates her experience coaching age-group triathletes from first timers to podium finishers and competing at all distances, being a podium finisher in both Olympic and 70.3 distances.
Starting 12 weeks before your target race, this plan is based on a linear periodization model with a 3 week build/1 week recovery schedule which stresses athletes, allowing for appropriate recovery for adaptation. It contains two build periods (max 11:40/week) prior to peaking (max 13:10/week) and tapering. Most weeks contains 2x strength/core , 3x swims, 3x bikes and 3x runs including 1 BRICK workout.
During the plan, you will build up to: 1.2 miles swimming, 4 hours cycling and 2 hours running. Your plan has a designated off day (Sunday) which could be switched to accommodate different schedules. Use of a heart rate monitor in conjunction with perceived effort is encouraged but you may use power as well.
There is an optional, but highly recommended, Olympic Distance race planned at the end of the 6th week of training. If unable to participate in a race, a brick swim/bike/run, simulating a race is prescribed.
Included in the purchase of this plan is a Quick Start Guide, which explains how to use your training plan.
Prior to using this plan, you should be able to complete the following workouts:,br>Swim: 1200 meters or yards continuously
Bike: 2 hours continuously,br>Run: 40 min continuously

This training plan is written to prepare you for your Half Ironman.
1.2 mile Swim | 56 mile Bike | 13.1 mile Run
This training plan is written to prepare you to finish your first Half Ironman. The weekly volume per week starts at 8 hours and will gradually move up to 12-14. You should already be consistently training 8-10 hours per week before starting this plan and ideally you should have completed some Olympic distance races in the past season
This plan is based on an annual volume of 500 hours per year, which won't necessarily mean an average of 10 hours per week. It will build to 14+ with recovery weeks at around 8 hours per week.
While it’s definitely possible to finish a Half Ironman Triathlon with fewer hours per week or fewer days per week than what you see here, I wanted to present a plan which emphasizes consistent buildup of hours to make your race day more enjoyable and less of a day of Swim-Bike-Walk.
I realize that every athlete has specific strengths, weaknesses, available hours, and other restrictions. Hopefully, you can adjust this plan to fit you well enough.
You should be able to do the following prior to starting this plan
swim 2x1500 per week
bike 90 mins
run 60 mins
This 24 week program is geared to the athlete who is ready to tackle the Ironman distance. This program is best suited to the athlete who has previously completed some sprint, olympic and half ironman distance triathlons. The training volume ranges from a low of 8 hours per week during recovery week to a peak volume of approximately 17 hours. The training frequency (number of workouts per week) is fairl evenly split between swim, bike and run. However, the overall training volume is heaviest on the bike to help athletes prepare most optimally for the rigors of the Ironman distance. There is a fair amount of choice and flexibility for the athlete who follows this Hypercat training program which makes it perfect for the self-coached athlete. For the budget conscious athlete, you may want to purchase this plan directly ($199) from Hypercat Racing at: http://www.hypercat.com/catalog/item/7912754/8502107.htm
This is a training plan that will provide you with a solid foundation for a great racing experience. This is a very specific training plan for the 20 weeks leading up to and including your race. Additionally you will find an extra week of recovery workouts for the week after your race.
This plan is perfect for the 1st time Ironman competitor. This is also ideal for those who want to train by feel as heart rate and power tools are not utilized. This is very practical for those who have real lives - 1 day per week is always scheduled as an off day from training.
This is for a triathlete who wants to make the jump up to half iron distance racing. This will also be for you if have done the distance before, but want to train more effectively this time around. You should be able to run 30 minutes, cycle an hour, and swim 750yds before starting this plan. Follow this plan, and in 18 weeks you will be a Half Iron finsher!
The plan starts at 5 hours per week, and builds to an average 9 hours a week with a max of 10 hours a week.
This plan uses heart rate zones and perceived effort for pacing and effort level.
This is for the experienced athelte looking to improve at the Half Iron distance. You should have completed olympic distance triathlons and be injury free when you start this plan. This is also for you if you've done a Half Iron race...or a few...and jsut want to train right and get faster. This will require up to 15 hours per week of training, average of 11-12 hours.

This plan assumes that you have completed one of my Base modules and have established your endurance.
While the average training load is 11 hours per week, this plan is challenging because the key workouts are very specific to your needs as a Half Ironman athlete. Where appropriate, I have explained how experienced athletes can beef up the plan a bit.
Strength training is not emphasized but I have placed one strength session per week into the plan. This session falls on Monday in the first 6 weeks of the plan and Wednesday in the second 6 weeks of the plan. Within my own training I would use two session per week until the until the final two weeks of the plan. If you want to place a second strength session then the combo that fits best is Monday/Friday (first 6 weeks) and Wednesday/Sunday (next 4 weeks)
There is an important Half Ironman simulation workout that falls six weeks out from your goal race. You can substitute a B-, or C-, priority event for this race. An Olympic Distance race would be the most appropriate choice. If you are new to Half Ironman racing then, I believe, you will get the most benefit from following my race simulation workout that weekend.
The swimming program is focused on distance freestyle improvement with main set distance capped around 3000 meters (3300 yards). Where appropriate, I have explained how to dial the program up, or down.
The plan is appropriate for athletes racing all distances with weekly volume ranging from 8 to 13 hours per week.
Swim - up to 3,300 yards / 3,000 meters
Bike - up to 40 miles / 65 kilometers
Run - up to 10 miles / 16 kilometers
I hope you enjoy,
gordo

This training plan is written to prepare you for your Half Ironman Triathlon
1.2 mile Swim | 56 mile Bike | 13.1 mile Run
This training plan is written to prepare you to finish your first Half Ironman. The weekly volume per week starts at 8 hours and will gradually move up to 12-14. You should already be consistently training 8-10 hours per week before starting this plan and ideally you should have completed some Olympic distance races in the past season
This plan is based on an annual volume of 500 hours per year, which won't necessarily mean an average of 10 hours per week. It will build to 14+ with recovery weeks at around 8 hours per week.
While it’s definitely possible to finish a Half Ironman Triathlon with fewer hours per week or fewer days per week than what you see here, I wanted to present a plan which emphasizes consistent buildup of hours to make your race day more enjoyable and less of a day of Swim-Bike-Walk.
I realize that every athlete has specific strengths, weaknesses, available hours, and other restrictions. Hopefully, you can adjust this plan to fit you well enough.
This Half Ironman build phase training plan is prepared to provide you with improved strength of your major muscle groups used in triathlon, it will involve more force and muscular endurance sessions, and is a time for eliminating muscle imbalances. This will follow a 4 week cycle of easy, medium, hard and recovery weeks based on hourly volume, with a progresssive reliance on carbohydrate as a fuel, moving into zone 3 tempo workouts during the course of the plan
The weekly volume per week will gradually move up to 12-14. You should already be consistently training 8-12 hours per week before starting this plan and ideally you should have completed some Olympic distance races in the past season
This plan is based on an annual volume of 500 hours per year, an average of 10 hours per week. It will build to 12+ with recovery weeks at around 8 hours per week.
HALF IRONMAN 9-Week Advanced Training Program
Author: Coach Erik Seedhouse, M.Med.Sc., Ph.D., FBIS, Coaching Director, TriathlonPro
9 weeks - $49.95
Total Hours: 88.2
This is an Advanced level Half Ironman distance training schedule aimed at the competitive Age
Group triathlete with more than 5 years training/racing experience and with at least three Half
Ironman distance races completed. This schedule has been used dozens of times by athletes and
has resulted in more than a dozen age group podium results.
Before starting this schedule it is recommended that the athlete have logged between 4 to 6
weeks of base aerobic training. Ideally, the athlete should also have completed two or three
shorter races to activate their race legs. This schedule is moderately low volume but high in
intensity so it requires a high level of conditioning and efficient swim, bike and run
biomechanics. Due to the moderately high intensity of this schedule, monitoring for signs of
overtraining is essential. It is therefore recommended that serious athletes work with a coach to
properly develop their potential.
With the busy age group athlete in mind, the key to this training schedule is quality, quality,
quality! In short, you will be training as you race. You will find this schedule may be lightweight
in terms of volume but it’s the intensity that counts. This schedule has been used by athletes
(including the coach who developed it) to race sub 4:30 in Half Ironman races – it is race-proven.
Every week includes one day recovery. Most weekdays involve moderate training loads
requiring time commitments of between one to three hours. Weekends have higher workloads
and max out at 4 to 5 hours of weekend training.
Intensity descriptions are by Target Training Zones (TTZs) but athletes are encouraged to use
heart rate, wattage and/or perceived effort to monitor their training.
TTZs are as follows:
Zone 1: Recovery pace. Usually restricted to taper sessions and post-race recovery.
Zone 2: Aerobic pace. Low to moderate intensity. Able to maintain a conversation. Heart Rate is
at least 15 to 25 beats per minute below lactate threshold heart rate.
Zone 3: Aerobic Endurance. Steady to moderate effort. Heart Rate is between 0 to 10 beats
below lactate threshold heart rate.
Zone 4: Threshold Training. Hard effort sustainable for short duration. This is race effort so
you’ll be suffering. Heart Rate within 5 beats of LTHR
Prior to starting this schedule it is suggested the athlete perform a maximal oxygen uptake test
(VO2max); this will ensure optimal determination of your TTZs. One option is the shuttle run (‘bleep test’) or a direct assessment in a sport science lab. If neither of those tests are available a
20 minute functional threshold (run) test can be used to determine LTHR. For example, if you
run flat out for 5km and you heart rate at the finish is 160 bpm, this is your LTHR.
This 9-week training schedule will ensure you are optimally prepared to race a fast Half
Ironman.
TriathlonPro wishes you luck with your training and racing and thanks you for using this training
plan. If you are interested in personalized training/coaching please contact Erik at

This plan was designed by Joe Friel using the principles of The Triathletes Training Bible for the OVER-age-50 athlete. The major difference between this and the under-50 plan is that brief rest periods are built in more frequently for over 50.
This plan is best started about 23 weeks prior to your first A race of the season. This plan is quite detailed, often including alternative workouts, yet easy to follow.
To start this plan you should be able to swim 1 hour, bike 1.5 hours, and run 1 hour. Over 12 weeks you will increase your weekly volume from about 9.5 hours to 14 hours including 3 swims, 2 to 4 bikes, 3 to 4 runs, and 1 to 2 strength workouts each week. The exceptions are the R&R weeks every third week with volume significantly reduced for 4 to 5 days and self-testing at the end of the week to measure progress.
The plan uses common tri language to describe the workouts and is easy to follow. By the end of 12 weeks you will have excellent Base fitness and be ready to start the Build period 11 weeks prior to your A-priority, half-Ironman race.

This plan is for an intermediate level Ironman triathlete with three or more Ironman races completed. This plan is designed for mid season and assumes the athlete already has completed a base period and a couple of shorter races. The plan is also designed for athletes who are preparing for a second Ironman race in one season.
The plan features an initial transition week to prepare the athlete for the two 3-week blocks of heavy race-specific training and a 3-week taper.
This plan is for the triathlete that has finished at least one Half-Ironman distance triathlon, wants to dramatically improve their time, and is willing to work for it. This plan entails 3 swims, 3 bikes, and 3 runs, and 1 strength session a week.
This plan is for the timed crunched competitive intermediate triathlete. Heart rate monitor is required. Plan involves ~ 8-10 hours per week.
Plan is based on a 2 week training period followed by a 3-4 day rest period to maximize training time and allow for body adaptation to training stress.
Plan also includes periodic time trials in the bike/swim/run in order to establish and re-establish valid heart rate zones in the bike and run. Pacing is used in swim workouts and based off of a 1000 meter time trial.
Focus is on building sport specific endurance and force/efficiency/technique in the first 8 weeks of training. During this period you will complete:
* 2 strength/stability sessions per week in gym, .
* Progressively longer workouts in the bike/swim/run.
* Workouts focusing on form/efficiency/technique in all disciplines.
Plan then transitions you to a base/build phase in the next 8 weeks to consolidate and build muscular endurance. During this phase of training athletes will complete:
* Weekly interval/tempo sessions for the bike/swim/run which increase in intensity.
* Endurance in all disciplines is maintained but not focused on like in the first 8 weeks.
* Strength sessions continue.
The final 6-8 weeks of training are focused on race specific workouts.
* Brick workouts are scheduled on a more regular basis and increase in duration.
* Open water swim workouts become more frequent.
* Muscular endurance and force are maintained through weekly interval and tempo sessions in all disciplines.
* Strength workouts are discontinued in order to allow strength gains in the gym to carry over to the bike/run/swim.
Final 2 week peak is included and leads you into your race.
PURPOSE: This is a beginner level Ironman Distance training plan intended for use by the age group triathlete with at least one season of triathlon racing experience but with no Ironman distance experience. Training time ranges from 9 hours per week up to around 18 hours of weekly training during 'peak' volume. The goal for the plan is to help the athlete build confidence and the basic skills and fitness necessary to finish the race in a reasonable time comfortably and uninjured while having a meaning Ironman day race experience! After completing this plan, progressing to the Advanced Plan will help take your performance to the next level.
Before starting this plan, it's recommended that the athlete complete at least 12 weeks of steady aerobic foundation training and perhaps have completed one or two races in order to establish their 'race legs'. This beginner program requires a moderate level of overall body conditioning and good biomechanics due to the high volume during peak weeks. It is expected that the athlete takes full responsibility for monitoring themselves for signs of overtraining or overuse and adjust the plan according to their own individual needs. A complete physical check up is recommended prior to starting this or any strenuous exercise program. Finally, it's important for all athletes to understand that successful triathlon racing requires a year-round commitment to training and it is advised that serious competitors work with a coach in regard to their annual training plan development.
The daily workouts in the plan are detailed with small ranges in order to accommodate individual time restraints. For example, a run workout might suggest 40-45 minutes of zone 2 (aerobic paced) running and a target distance of 5 miles. It is up to the athlete to hit daily training goals and to log them accordingly in the trainingpeaks software.
With the busy age group athlete in mind, most weekdays involve lighter training loads of one or two workouts a day and involve a time commitment of one to two hours (or slightly more) depending on which stage of the plan the athlete is in. Weekends typically have higher workloads and 'peak' at upwards of 8-10 hours of total training.
At times during the plan, Spinervals DVDs are recommended for use but are not required. Athletes can learn more about the Spinervals DVD series by visiting www.spinervals.com Also, training tips are available to everyone by visiting www.coachtroy.com
The workouts are given an intensity description by Zones. Advanced athletes can use heart rate, power (on the bike) or PE(perceived effort) to monitor their daily training intensities. In general, the intensities for this plan are as follows:
Zone 1: Recovery pace. Very low intensity active recovery 'shake the legs out'. Ideal after long/hard workout days and races. 'Noodle it'.
Zone 2: Aerobic/Blue pace. Low to moderate intensity training. PE of 6-7.5 (Scale 1-10, 10 being 100%). Steady conversation effort. HR is at least 10-25 beats per minute below LTHR (lactate threshold heart rate).
Zone 3: Aerobic Endurance/Gray pace. Moderate to hard training. PE of 7.5- 8.5. Harder efforts that can be sustained for long periods of time. HR 0-10 beats below LTHR
Zone 4: Threshold Training. Hard training at a pace sustainable for short durations. At and above 'race pace'. PE 8.5 - 9. Suffer a little. HR within 5+/- LTHR
Zone 5: V02max Training: Really hard training, PE 9-10. Suffer a lot. HR 10-20 bpm above LTHR
Prior to starting this program and again mid-way through the program, it is recommended that the athlete gets a metabolic test in order to set up target training zones effectively. If that test is not available or convenient, benchmark tests such as that found in Spinervals 27.0 (http://www.spinervals.com/products/item10.cfm), a 20 minute functional threshold test or for the run, a hard 3 mile effort (take avg. HR for the run) can be used to determine LTHR. (Example: If a 3 mile hard, race paced run yields an avg. HR of 150 bpm, this is your LTHR.)
By the end of this 16 week block of training, the athlete should have a high level of fitness required for the successful completion of the Ironman distance. More information, videos and articles about training and racing can be found online at www.coachtroy.com, with a bulk of articles available to members of the website.

This is a training plan that will provide you with a solid foundation for a great racing experience. This is a very specific training plan for the 20 weeks leading up to and including your race.
This plan is perfect for the 1st time Ironman competitor. This is also ideal for those who want to train by feel as heart rate and power tools are not utilized. This is very practical for those who have real lives - 1 day per week is always scheduled as an off day from training.

This plan is perfect for the 1st time Ironman competitor. This is also ideal for those who want to train by feel as heart rate and power tools are not utilized. This is very practical for those who have real lives - 1 day per week is always scheduled as an off day from training.
This plan is for the intermediate to advanced triathlete with at least 3 years of steady training and competitive level racing under their belt. Race day is on a Saturday, not a Sunday. Before starting this plan, the athlete should have a well established foundation of aerobic base fitness, along with good general overall conditioning. The use of Spinervals Cycling dvds are recommended for this and all of coach Troy's plans, but is not a requirement. Done properly, this program will get the athlete to the starting line in peak form and injury free.
The workouts are given an intensity description by Zones. Advanced athletes can use heart rate, power (on the bike) or PE(perceived effort) to monitor their daily training intensities. In general, the intensities for this plan are as follows:
Zone 1: Recovery pace. Very low intensity active recovery 'shake the legs out'. Ideal after long/hard workout days and races. 'Noodle it'.
Zone 2: Aerobic/Blue pace. Low to moderate intensity training. PE of 7-8 (Scale 1-10, 10 being 100%). Steady conversation effort. HR is at least 10-25 beats per minute below LTHR (lactate threshold heart rate).
Zone 3: Aerobic Endurance/Gray pace. Moderate to hard training. PE of 7.5- 8.5. Harder efforts that can be sustained for long periods of time. HR 0-10 beats below LTHR
Zone 4: Threshold Training. Hard training at a pace sustainable for short durations. At and above 'race pace'. PE 8.5 - 9. Suffer a little. HR within 5+/- LTHR
Zone 5: V02max Training: Really hard training, PE 9-10. Suffer a lot. HR 10-20 bpm above LTHR
Prior to starting this program and again mid-way through the program, it is recommended that the athlete gets a metabolic test in order to set up target training zones effectively. If that test is not available or convenient, benchmark tests such as that found in Spinervals 27.0 (http://www.spinervals.com/products/item10.cfm), a 20 minute functional threshold test or for the run, a hard 3 mile effort (take avg. HR for the run) can be used to determine LTHR. (Example: If a 3 mile hard, race paced run yields an avg. HR of 150 bpm, this is your LTHR.)
Success in this and all programs is dependent on your consistency and focus on other variables including nutrition, recovery and your overall health. Try to maximize each of these for best results.
