HI all...I am looking for advice/information/thoughts on training for two Ironmans (less than 2 months apart).

What is your experience with triathlon? How many Ironman's or Half Ironman's have you already completed? What is your fitness currently at, etc. When are these races? What is your current training like? Are you an endurance athlete currently? We need lots of information.

I, myself, wouldn't be able to handle two Ironman races in 2 months (because of the recovery time and training into another race that is needed after the first), but others have done races that close...and much more...so we need to know more about you. For most people, two races like that (140 miles) in 60 days can't/shouldn't happen. I would think one that is able to race like that isn't asking for training advice but is totally dialed in...but I digress.

Could I do two ironmans in 2 months?

Absolutely?

Could I do my absolute best at both?

It might take an interesting transition, but I'd be skeptical with my level of fitness.

Along with all the other above questions, what is your fitness level, history, goals, etc.

Some people can do 5 ironmans in 5 days, some can't complete a sprint triathlon.

Need a lot more information to see if your goals are realistic

My question is how do I train for the second Ironman race and continue to improve without "peaking" way too early, becoming stagnant or any of the other training bad words?
