Welcome! I’m taking the liberty to take over this year’s Ironman training thread from @JoeX , for anyone, from beginners to pros, training for a half-Ironman or longer triathlon, Ironman-branded or not. (If you’re racing anything shorter than that, you’re welcome to post on The Short Course Triathlon…

[image] JoeX: How many of us are using TR plans? I started the HIM plan. But because I am newbie maybe I can try the new custom plans just for cycling and do 4 runs and 3 swims weekly with own planning. Because I am not yet there for intensity in running. And this way I can test the new custo…

[image] stino77: 10-18? Do you add volume then in those plans because do not seen 18h a week in the high volume plans? Plans aren’t fixed and adapt to your progression so they won’t look the same between individuals, as a rule. [IMG_0362] Nothing added as you can see. EDIT I’ve placed ar…

[image] JoeX: Plans aren’t fixed and adapt to your progression so they won’t look the same between individuals, as a rule. Ah ok. Nice to see. Will have to check my plan what it has in mind for me in that period ;-).

Hi all @giventotri And Pinging @Bbt67 @Benwgoodfellow @Billabong @DanF as biggest contributors Wondering if the thread needs a little shake up for 2025, thoughts? Broader all triathlon but still race focussed? The swim, run and short course threads don’t get much run tends to be non triathlon m…

[image] JoeX: How many of us are using TR plans? I’m struggling to decide which plan to use as triathlon arent in the Custom Plans yet. I am signed up for my first 70.3 in June, and I currently have the half distance plan on my TR calendar. What is interesting is that I did a slightly longer…

[image] mattclarke: So to what degree are the tr full in half distance plans now customizable and adaptive? Funnily enough I’ve just emailed TR support on this, as I’m not sure. Will post the response. I’m sure we don’t get workouts recommended based on our training history yet. Not sure if …

[image] mattclarke: So to what degree are the tr full in half distance plans now customizable and adaptive? I am also on the HIM plan and it constant adapts according to my workouts done (or not). So it seems customizable and adaptive to me? But maybe wait for @JoeX response from TR? Because …

Having a general triathlon thread for 2025 sounds good to me; the short course thread isn’t so busy that it’ll add a lot of volume to this one, might as well merge them at this point. That said, I think I’ll need to ask someone else to take over the new thread, I’m really not sure how much I’ll be …

[image] stino77: I am also on the HIM plan and it constant adapts according to my workouts done (or not). So it seems customizable and adaptive to me? My cycling workouts seem as adaptive as the ones on any of the other TR plans, but the runs and swim adaptations are fairly rudimentary in com…

[image] JoeX: Some people are concerned that Custom Plans don’t show a progression in length to an event, so this may not be a bad thing entirely. I DID use the Plan Builder to set mine up, and I am concerned that my ride durations don’t show any progression. Nothing longer than 1h30m, even i…
