Master 1963    |  Subject: The year before, and 2 years before IM, training time and racesFor those super cool IM finishers, I was wondering what your training volume (total hours) and racing schedule (sprints/olys/70.3's/marathons/etc) looked like in the year before and the 2 years before the year you did your IM. |

Regular 288 Doylestown, PA | Subject: RE: The year before, and 2 years before IM, training time and races Interested to see the results on this one. To go into even more detail, I'd like to know the general on/off season split with activity levels during the off season. |

Champion 10471 Dallas, TX | Subject: RE: The year before, and 2 years before IM, training time and races You can look at my training logs. I have been on here since... 2007? I did an IM in Aug 2008. It's going to be pretty hard and tedious for me to summarize all of that into a post... but my training logs tell all you need to know.  |

Not a Coach 11473 Media, PA | Subject: RE: The year before, and 2 years before IM, training time and races You are free to check my logs. Everything I have done in trianing is there with first (and only so far) IM in July '07. But what you will find, in aggregate, is that there are an infinite number of ways to 'arrive' at the IM finish line. Race schedule and training volume data will not help you figure out the path you might want to (or should) take. |

Lethbridge, Alberta Bronze member | Subject: RE: The year before, and 2 years before IM, training time and races OK, I was curious so I looked it up. I finished my first and only IM, so far, in 2008. For '06 I logged 342 hours of S/B/R and did a half marathon, an oly, a half IM, and some shorter run races. For '07 I logged 396 hours of S/B/R and did an oly, a full marathon, 2 half IMs, and some shorter run races. |

Pro 4608 Brooklyn, NY | Subject: RE: The year before, and 2 years before IM, training time and races I'm not a finisher yet, but like Trishie I'm training for my first IM. I have been running 9 or so years, have done 5 marathons, cycling for 5 or 6 years with a couple centuries but nothing serious. I learned to swim from May-July 2008, did 3 tris in '08 - two sprints and an oly. I've done 2 HIMs in 09, have an oly next weekend and IMWI on September 13. This year I've logged:

Champion 19812 MA | Subject: RE: The year before, and 2 years before IM, training time and races You should look at various peoples blogs, graphs and races to get some ideas... 2007 I did 2 Olys and 1 HIM, plus some sprints, crits and had a bad bike crash which was year before my first IM. 2009 training for second IM so far this year: bike/run/swim 4500 miles-281 h; 660 Mi- 118 h; 178219 Yds-80h 2007 trained for first HIM: b/r/s |

Expert 1073 scottsdale, az | Subject: RE: The year before, and 2 years before IM, training time and races a year before I JUST finished my 1st Olympic. I have my training from Octoberish 2007 on my logs, 2 years before Ironman, I was MONTHS away from signing up for my 1st tri. |

Champion 5312 Calgary | Subject: RE: The year before, and 2 years before IM, training time and races ha. This is a funny question. You can take a look at my logs, they start January 2008, I completed my Ironman in September 2008. Prior to January 2008 I can advise I completed my first 10k and 1/2 marathon in May of 2007, and prior to that nothing, although I did train and complete a 50k run race in February of 2008. I did not start bike training until May 2008. The amount of run training I did is pitiful. Of course I also finished in 14h 20 minutes with a 6 hour marathon. Ha. |

Expert 839 Portland, OR | Subject: RE: The year before, and 2 years before IM, training time and races Interesting questions: I did my 1st IM in 2007 and the year before I was completing my 2nd 1/2 IM an Oly and a Sprint. 2 years before I did absolutely nothing as I had micro-fracture knee surgery and a massive blood clot and was recovering from both most of 2005. I've always taken the approach that I train Jan-June/July and then I recover/rejuvenate Aug-Dec which means that while I do SBR in the summer and fall I don't follow a plan and do lots of fun random things like run relays or play kickball and golf etc. My logs are up to date for both IMs in 2007 and 2008 and my 1/2 IM I just did last month. |
