IronHolgs : The musings of a COLT Ironman. Back in 2009 when I was training hard for my attempt at completing Ironman Germany I took myself out of my ‘comfort zone’ by tagging along with COLTs ‘A’ ride. The club has two weekend rides, the Sunday ride or ‘B’ ride which is at a pace that most people could easily keep up with and lasts 2-3 hours normally. It also after an hour splits into a ‘C’ ride to allow the different paces to be catered for. This works really well and means that no one should get left behind. The ‘A’ ride goes out at 7am on a Saturday morning and usually lasts anywhere from 3 – 6 hours. The difference not only being time / distance but the speed.

This is inevitable when you look at who is usually on the ride: 4 Kona qualifiers, 3 sub 11 ironmen, norseman and embrunman finishers. Also take into account that they race 2-3 ironman races a year, the training is pretty much always in top gear. The pace was brisk, but surprisingly I managed to stay with it.

The following program is designed for the individual who would like to complete or finish his or her first Olympic distance triathlon with no regard to time.

This also takes into consideration that the individual can run 3 miles, three times per week and cycle a minimum of 8-10 miles (about 60 minutes) regardless of speed. The entire program should be completed at an easy, aerobic pace. If you own a heart rate monitor and are familiar with aerobic heart rate training, than train at the lower end of your aerobic zone. I subscribe to the 180-method of determining your aerobic heart rate zone. This is just one method and certainly not the only one. According to this method, the following formula will give you your aerobic heart rate zone: 180 minus your age will give you your upper range in beats per minute. Ex: A 37 year old individual in descent shape- 180 – 37 = 143 This would be the upper range. 143 – 10 = 133 This is the lower range.

And the same goes with cycling with a partner. Warm-Ups. 10wtp. High5 Allergen, Vegitarian, Diabetic Statement.pdf (application/pdf Object) Endurox r4. High 5 at Discount Supplements.
