IRONMAN 70.3 GEELONG TRAINING PLAN

The SHOT Ironman 70.3 Geelong training program will get you race ready and help you have a great race on February 23, 2020!

This is a 12-week program based on a 3-week cycle of build-build-recovery and super-compensation (a fancy word for getting stronger and faster progressively!)

The program follows the general principle of 80/20 triathlon training whereby 80% of workouts are low to moderate intensity and 20% are hard.  This principle has been scientifically shown to be the best method across all triathlon disciplines to ensure optimal growth and good recovery.

Before starting this program you should be able to comfortably swim 45 minutes, bike for 1 hour, and run for 45 minutes, and be able to complete at least 5 hours of training per week.    

What you get:

  • 12-week program designed by Ironman Certified, Triathlon Australia Accredited, and Precision Nutrition Certified Coach, Stuart Harsley. 
  • Plan based on perceived effort or heart rate (or pace for swim workouts).  If you want to use power for bike workouts, instructions can be given on how to change the workouts to power (and, for example, how to use them in Zwift)
  • Weekly training guide
  • Email support*
  • Weekly review of your progress with comments and tips to keep you on track (via TrainingPeaks). 
  • $99 for 12 weeks – less than $10 per week

The unique part about this program is that at any stage you can upgrade to a fully customized triathlon training program for $50 per week (minimum 4-weeks) or book a 1-on-1 consultation to discuss any aspect of your training for $30 per half hour.  The consultation option is especially useful for those who need deeper triathlon or nutritional advice.
