Ironman on 10 Hours a Week Training Plan

About this plan

The whole plan points at one thing: your IRONMAN. Across 20 weeks and roughly 10 hours a week, it builds you toward the full iron distance with nothing in there that does not earn its place.

Three weeks up, ease back, repeat: that rhythm is what makes the fitness stick. Intensity is rationed rather than sprayed around, every target reads off your own FTP and threshold pace, and the plan gives the swim, the bike, the run and the transitions that join them the attention each one needs.

Do the work and you get to your IRONMAN fit, confident and knowing your day is in hand.
