Good Ironman training program

I haven't used Ironfit, but I thought I would recommend the plans here on BT.  They have them for different levels and they integrate right into your logs to help you track yourself.

Good Luck!

I'm just finishing up BIF and followed the competitive plan and was real happy with the plan and races that were planned along with the training.  The only negative is that I found the swims to be lame and used some masters workouts from online and swim workouts from the BT IM plan.

The BIF plan just seemed to be a good fit for me and I'm hoping the results will be there come Saturday evening.

I used IF as well and the only thing you might consider changing is the starting mileage (depending on your level prior to the 30 weeks). I started right after doing a couple of Oly's and found that the first several weeks of only 6 hrs of training was too far of a step backwards for me. Overall really felt like it was a good plan, but don't feel like you have to be locked into anyone that you start. they can all be slightly modified to fit your needs.

Well I don't have much to go on but finished B2B in 12:07 Saturday following the competitive plan.  I've been fighting some knee pain the last coupe of weeks and I feel as though if my knee behaved I could've dropped another 10 to 15 minutes but it just wasn't gonna happen.  I felt more then prepared physically and enjoyed my first full iron race.

I used the BT Beginner 1/2 IM plan. Worked great and felt good despite it being sunny and 95 degrees the whole time. Recommended!

Another vote for Be Iron Fit plan, folowed the COmpetitive Plan for IM Lou- my first, and thought it worked great!  I really like the BT plans for HIM but felt like I was rearranging days too much when looking into the IM plans.  I didnt have to do that for BIF.  I'll use it again for my next IM.

For anyone that does want to use the Competitive Be Iron Fit plan, I got an Excel formatted copy from someone.  It was nice to have a copy in various places- car, work, closet for packing workout bag....PM me your email if you'd like a copy.

The weekend bike/run is not a brick, they should be separated.  The competitive program, had a short early week brick, then the long bike brick late week.  I ended up blowing off the high rpm ride after the long run on a few occasions or even moved it to different days on occasion.  But I had a crazy work schedule so I did whatever it took and made sure the long bike and runs were done every week.
