![]() ![]() ![]() I realized that having a dedicated triathlon coach was not financially viable to me given my other goals and aspirations outside of triathlon. Jeff JantzĪfter a year of IM structured training “coaching” for my first IM in 2015, I decided to use the lessons learned and resources available to me locally to help guide me through the early part of the 2016 triathlon season. ![]() For me, having key targeted workouts during the week makes the most sense and then on the weekends I can devote the time needed to getting the long distance workouts in. I was able to probably land closer to 90-95% of the workouts this time (mostly missing due to travel) and had a PR by nearly 40 minutes (I think it could have even been a greater PR if the bike course wouldn’t have had such poor road conditions). That tended to lead towards quicker burnout and also just being in a habit of having to miss workouts which was a negative mental aspect. I have a very busy career and previous plans were quite frankly just not achievable with the amount of load during the week. While I utilized training plans for the previous two, I really appreciated that your plan was much more focused and actually less training than I had previously done. I purchased your training plan for Ironman Santa Rosa and had a fantastic race – this was my third Ironman and was definitely the most prepared for this race because of your plan. ![]()
