This program should be used for an athlete who is coming off a Half Ironman Race and: 1. They have a very strong base of 4-6 months of consistent training 2. They have a strong swim or run background 3. They have trained for at least 10-12 hours per week This program is an advanced plan to bridge you from an a Half Ironman to Ironman using a power meter with the confidence that you can complete the race without difficulty. The schedule consists of 3-4 workouts per week in each sport, 1-2 days of strength training and core work too. The maximum volume is around 14-20 hours pretty consistently and some of the easier weeks are around 9 hours. Requirements: You should be able to swim at least 3,000 yards. You should be able to bike at least 3.5 hours and be able to run three times per week with at least one of the runs being 90 minutes. If you are a weak swimmer or runner, you can certainly do the best you can on your weaker events but its best if you are already up to the base fitness levels suggested.
