IRONMAN Wales Training Plan - Improve

About this plan

The whole plan points at one thing: Ironman Wales. Across 17 weeks and roughly 14 hours a week, it builds you toward the full iron distance with nothing in there that does not earn its place.

Every target is set as a percentage of your own FTP and threshold pace, so it fits you and not some average athlete. The weeks climb and then ease in three-week blocks, and across them the swim, the bike, the run and the transitions that join them are trained in balance.

Do the work and this plan is built to take a real chunk out of your previous time when you line up for Ironman Wales.
