Subject: RE: Good Ironman training programI followed Be Iron Fit for Lake Placid this year - my first Ironman.
Have to say it worked great. I'd follow it again. I didn't have any injuries, and on race day, there was absolutely no doubt I'd finish. It was a no-brainer.
As someone already said, initially, it is a step back. Freakin' easy!!! Too easy. But eventually it sneaks up on you and you realize how much you're doing. There's very little speedwork but it was amazing how it got so much harder to do. That's all a good thing.
I actually alternated weeks between the competitive plan and intermediate - depending on how much time I had to devote during the weekend. I think the only difference was an extra brick run and/or a recovery ride.
