Subject: Ironman Training Plan
I'm looking for a training plan (book or online) I can use for IMMD which is in 28 weeks. Here's what you need to know about me:

- I'm a back of the packer - finished IMMT in 2014 in 16:22/ Rev 3 Maine in 7+ hours
- I'm often injured - so I'm looking for a plan that has two weeks of hard training and 1 week of recovery
- Money is tight so hiring a coach or buying an expensive plan is out
- I'm current not swimming (inflamed bicept tendon), my long ride is 2 hours and since I'm training for Boston - I'm running 15 miles for a long run
- I don't care how long it takes me - I just want to avoid injury and finish

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I bought a plan from D3 Multisports and have been very happy with it!! You can go to their website and preview their plans.

For my first 2 IMs, I followed Matt Fitzgerald's Super Simple IM plan. If you google it, you will find it. It is free and should give you enough volume to finish. I am firmly in the middle of the pack, with 3 young kids at home, so a easy to follow, cheap plan was ideal.

I liked the plan because I basically did the same thing every week, just small increases in volume. I think recovery weeks are every 4th week, so perhaps you can alter it a bit. Just get your long rides and runs in.

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.

Intermediate 1/2 Ironman Triathlon Training Plan - 16 Week

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.
