The 15 hour per week Half Ironman distance triathlon training program is perfect for the triathlete who although has time constraints, the athlete is able to dedicate a serious amount of time to training. The athlete is in good condition when starting the training plan.
If you plan on taking up the challenge of a Half Ironman distance triathlon, you want to be as efficient as possible with your time and training. The Half Ironman distance training program does just that. By following this program, you will develop better form, technique, improved speed skills and the necessary intensity for race day. Every workout has a purpose.
Since you will be using this program beginning three months before race day, I am assuming you have some level of fitness. If you are just getting started, you might want to reduce the weekly hours to train to two thirds of the planned schedule. The way I have formulated the program, you can mix and match workouts to fit your fitness level and schedule. The weekly training hours are from 9 hours per week with the highest being 19:30. The average hours per week for the program are 15. Typically, you swim four times, bike three times and run four times a week.
