Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Racine : Official ThreadOK, I feel better. Now I can contribute something intelligent to the conversation. dd - I also think the 'free' 20 wk plan is adequate. I used it my first year. The second year a friend of mine who had done 9 IMs and has a degree in exercise physiology made a plan for me, but there wasn't anything magical about it. Last year I made up my own plan and that is what I will be using this year. One thing that really helped me was working 3-4 13 mile runs into the plan. That way on race day when I get to the run, I can just tell myself "it's ONLY 13 miles, just a run work out, no big deal" (I also did four 60 mile bikes hoping I would think the 54 miles was easy, it didn't work.) |
