Elite  3002   HURRICANE, Utah |  Subject: Ironman 9 weeks apart training ideasI did Ironman Louisville August 30th and am doing Beach to Battleship on November 7th....any ideas of what to do training wise? I wouldnt think that I should take the last 8 weeks of my normal ironman training and start from there. I think it about just keep the endurance levels steady but what distances should be my long bikes and runs? Any ideas greatly appreciated. |

Extreme Veteran 725   | Subject: RE: Ironman 9 weeks apart training ideas Last year with 8 weeks between IM races I started my plan 8 weeks out from the new race day. Some days I was not mentally ready to ride a 100 miles and would go 80 instead. I think I did about 2 century rides between the 2 races. My long runs were only at 15 miles. I'm planning on following the same plan again this year. 9 weeks between Louisville and B2B. Listen to your body. I would also appreciate any suggestions. |

Regular 60 Huntersville | Subject: RE: Ironman 9 weeks apart training ideas I completed IM WI a little over 2 weeks ago and am also planning on doing B2B...only a 7 week gap. I just did recovery stuff for 2 weeks and am now ramping up my training again for 2-2.5 weeks and then re-tapering. I was asking people last weekend that have done back-to-back IMs, and I got a wide variety of responses. One guy said he focused mainly on intensity and said his longest run was 9 miles and his longest bike in between was 80 miles (his coach developed a plan for him). I'm adapting the last several weeks of my previous plan. I would appreciate any suggestions as well. |
