Simon Ward on How to Train for an Iron distance event

This week it’s another solo-cast as Simon is in the hot seat to provide some guidance on one of his favourite triathlon subjects:  How to train for an iron distance triathlon.  There is always lots of discussion on various forums, most of which is bad, on what works for an individual. In helping over 1000 athletes reach the finish of a 140.6 event, Simon has a unique insight into what really works for most people regardless of the level that they race at.  In this presentation you will hear:

• Why it’s crucial to create the right foundations before you start training
• The importance of planning strength, mobility, nutrition and sleep before you plan your swim, bike and run sessions
• Why you MUST “commit to consistency”
• How understanding what your limiters are will help you find the right training mix
• When training to avoid slowing down is better than training to be faster
• Unless you are Patrick Lange or Daniella Ryf, why "marginal gains” are not your main focus
• How the swim is more than just a warm up
• Why bike performance holds the key to your best race
• The risk vs reward of doing more running
