Subject: 1/2 ironman training plan
New here, like BRAND new, I have limited tri experience. I did one Xterra two years ago and had a blast, this summer I have a few races scheduled including an Ironman 70.3. In my training plan it says for my swim workout to do 200 swim, 200 kick, 200 pull, and 200 swim in my warm up, what does this mean? thanks..

200 kick would be 200m or 200y (depending on whether your pool is meters or yards) doing kick sets to concentrate on your kicking.

200 pull would use something like a pull buoy to concentrate on your pull/catch.

So one is a lower body swim drill, the other upper body.

Using a high-volume schedule for many months is not the best tactic. Build speed and skill several months out, and then transition to a high-volume IM plan.

This plan is an advanced plan in terms of volume and intensity and appropriate for someone who is looking to go under 5:00 and as fast as 4:30. There isn’t a lot of fluff in the plan.

Executing this full Ironman plan for 17 weeks would give people with one Ironman under their belts very good preparation for a 2nd and 3rd. Preferably, you should have a 6:30 or faster HIM time.
