70.3 on 8 Hours a Week Training Plan
About this plan
Targeting your IRONMAN 70.3? This is the plan for it. 16 weeks, a solid 8 hours a week, every one of them built around middle-distance triathlon rather than adapted from a template.
The load builds in three-week blocks and then backs off, so the work actually lands instead of burying you. The hard sessions are dosed the way the research says fitness is built, never piled on as junk volume, and the swim, the bike, the run and the transitions that join them all get their turn.
Follow it as written and you will arrive at your IRONMAN 70.3 genuinely ready, not just hopeful.
