Extreme Veteran  346   Honolulu, |  Subject: Race Schedule and Training PlanI'm looking at doing my first Half Ironman in the first part of Sep next year followed by my first marathon the first part of Nov. I was thinking about doing the half iron program for bike and swim and the run portion of the full iron program. Would that work or should I just follow the half iron program and the almost 2 months after the half iron do an abridged version a marathon program. Or is it to close for such distances for a novice like myself. |

I did the half iron program with the marathon program overlayed on it to replace the half iron's run workouts. So far so good! I don't think I'll have any problem being recovered & ready for the mary. |

Will that be enough. |

Will that be enough.My training was VERY erratic due to several weeks of travel, moving halfway across the country and minor injury. I'm no expert, but with consistent 6-8 hour weeks I think you'll be fine. Here's a plot of my weekly volume from the beginning of April through (including) my HIM on Sunday: (training_volume.jpg) Attachments ---------------- training_volume.jpg (85KB - 17 downloads) |
