Subject: RE: Ironman trainingI used the BT 20 week HIM plan last year and was happy with it, but for the IM I went with the "Be Iron Fit" plan. I went with it due to the fact it had the 3 options, when I first started considering it the competitive plan looked crazy hard and I thought it would be easy to drop down to the intermediate if needed and if things got crazy in life I could always fall back on the Just Finish plan. So far I just finished the 19th week following the competitive plan and have been happy with how things are working out. The only thing I don't like is the swim workouts, I find them quite lame and after giving them a shot I've reverted back to old workouts and workouts from the BT IM/HIM swim plans. I'm not real concerned about the swim come race day though. The way the schedule works with the bike and runs is easy to follow and I do like how that goes week by week and find it easy to switch things around when other things get in the way. Good luck |
