Master 1790 \Windsor, Ontario | Subject: BT Full Ironman Custom Training Plans Hi Everyone. I have a question for the group. I have created a 28 week full Ironman custom plan here on BT but some of it makes no sense to me and I am wondering if anyone else has used a BT full custom plan? On my short run days it has me doing just 1.3 miles (13 minute run based on a 10 min mile) and my short bikes only 5.5 miles or just about 20 minutes on the bike? That won't even raise my HR? Any suggestions on this? Thanks KC |

Champion 13323 | Subject: RE: BT Full Ironman Custom Training Plans I just looked at the plan. I think it's the fact that you probably chose a beginner/Intermediate plan and it's so long, that your runs and other workouts are what you see. It's still a solid plan if you are building from a low volume...but it looks like it's not for you. I just went through and generated some variations. If you want 28 week, generate an 'advanced' plan, you should find that the starting weeks will be more to your level. OR if you want to stick with the beg or intermediate plans, generate a 20 week plan, you should find week 1 starts at a higher volume. ANOTHER OPTION is to create a 8 week IM maintenance plan, then do the 20 week advanced plan. This option nicely transitions in volume between the two plan. This is even starting out at a higher volume than the above recommendation though there is not as much 'base' building. *When you generate a plan, give it a name and look at the 'volume graph' BEFORE you import it. Generate several plans, looking at starting times and how volumes are. Let me know if this helps. If you want, give me your current training volume and I can give some more specific options.

20 | Subject: RE: BT Full Ironman Custom Training Plans Hi, Just created two custom plans aimed at my A race - IM Wales in September. I am a relative novice to triathlon although not to the training. Question:- 1. I have created a maintenance for 8 weeks followed by a 28 week plan - does this make sense or should I set myself up differently? 2. Thinking of doing City to Summit (1 June) for a bit of fun - could I fit this into my plan? Do I have sufficient recovery time to get a reasonable IM Wales time? If I did decide to do both would you set up the training differently. i.e. commence full build to City to Summit and then start again? Thanks Sean |
