Simon Ward on how to train for an Iron distance event in less than 10 hours per week

While you will find many triathletes swapping stories on social media of their “high volume” training weeks, the truth is that the majority are training for these events on 10 hours or less each week and doing pretty well in the bargain. I have been asked this question quite a lot and so I wanted to put together a specific podcast outlining how I would prepare a programme with a 10 hour time limit.

In this workshop you will hear:

• Why meticulous time management is vital if you are to maximise your training
• How sleep and nutrition can provide a much better return on your training
• How mindfulness plays a big part in your daily routine
• Why consistency is your biggest ally
• What duration your longest sessions should be for each discipline
• When and how to include mobility and strength sessions
• How the ‘ideal week’ looks for each discipline

In the podcast I mentioned that I had put together a document with an outline structure of a 20 week plan. If you would like a copy, please email Beth@TheTriathlonCoach.com and she’ll be happy to send it to you.  You won’t be put on a mailing list.
