Are You Ready For A Half Ironman?
- 1.2mile Swim | 56mile Bike | 13.1mile Run
There are a couple of baselines that should tell you if you are ready to take on a half ironman training program. It is not recommended that you jump right into a half ironman training schedule without already having certain base levels of fitness and training in all three triathlon sports.
Can We Assume This?
- You can swim for at least 30 minutes, run for 60 minutes or bike for 90 minutes continously
- You have competed in triathlons for a minimal amount of time and distance (1-2 years, Sprint/Olympic Distance only)
- Your skill levels are all mid-level in each sport
- You are flexible enough to make changes in your routines to accomodate your circumstances
- You don’t have time to quit your day job to train
With all of this in mind, there is no time like the present to start your half ironman training program. Even if it is coming into the end of triathlon season, preparing now and staying active during the offseason will have you way ahead of the game for next year.
