- Training Tips
- 2005-12-7 Getting on board the Tri TRAIN
Sweet! The only qualification for Ironman NZ is that you have to be stupid enough to pay $485 NZD to abuse yourself for 12 hours! For diet during training I try to go to a higher protein diet to help my muscles repair themselves from training. I won't bother with weight lifting, spend that time, biking, swimming, and running. If you do weight lift, do high reps, you don't want bulky muscles that you will have to drag around the course. For training, gradually increase miles and workout lengths, and try to do "brick" workouts where you put two or more of the event workouts together (swim, bike, and/or run). For instance, you go for an hour swim, and then immediately go bike for 2 hours. Start planning out your events leading up to the Ironman, finding smaller runs, swims, and tris, and then doing longer ones. I would do atleast two half ironmans before going for the full, have run at least two marathons, and have done at least one 200 mile bike ride, and a fair of amount of two mile swims under your belt. The last two weeks before you should only do a few light workouts. That is it in a nutshell. I think you can do it with only working out 3 to 4 times a week. Oh yah, buy a carbon fiber or maybe titanium bike as they absorb the road impacts so you don't feel like crap after riding 112 miles, with Shimano ultregra or higher (dura ace) components.
YOU CAN DO IT!
