In 2003, when I started in the wonderful sport of triathlon, I made it a goal to finish an Ironman. You know the deal: 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, 26.2 mile marathon. While the race itself seems crazy, it's really the training that is the most difficult part. More specifically, for many people, it is finding the time to train enough to finish an Ironman Autel MaxiCOM MK808.

At the time, I was in law school. Fast forward to 2008, when I started training for my first Ironman. I was working full time with a family. I had limited time to train. So I set up my training schedule accordingly, and I still use it today.

1) Monday Long Run:

When I first started training, I was a weekend warrior. I spent the majority of my time training on Saturday and Sunday. This included my long run. But then I realized that getting out and running is easier than getting to the pool and swimming or setting up my bike and riding. Why did my long run need to be on a Saturday? So I moved it to Monday, and I've had great results. The only time it has caused me some discomfort is when my schedule called for a twenty mile run for which I needed to wake up extra early.

2) Tuesday Recovery Bike:

After Sunday's long ride and Monday's long run, this recovery ride is very easy and relatively short. At most, I'll spin for sixty minutes in the small chain ring. The point is recovery, so swallow your pride.

3) Wednesday Swim:

For the most part, I only swim once per week, so I try to make the most of it. I start with a long, slow warm up, followed by some speed work, then finish with some longer intervals. Occasionally, I will make it one continuous long swim, just to get the distance in. I know that swimming will never be my strength.

4) Thursday Bike:

My Thursday bike is longer than Tuesday, and more challenging. I try to make it a harder effort, at a higher pace, and with hills. In the winter, I will substitute an outdoor ride for a spinning class or a ride on my trainer.

5) Friday Run:

My Friday run is reserved for tempo or speed work. While people have different definitions of tempo, I generally regard it as a ten to fifteen minute warm up, followed by twenty-five to forty minutes of lactate threshold pace, followed by a ten minute cool down. If I am at the point in my training plan that calls for speed work, then I will run 800-meter repeats Autel MaxiPRO MP808TS, with a proper warm up and cool down.

6) Saturday Strength Training:

I only lift weights once per week. I just don't have time to do any more than that. Something has to give. But I make the session worthwhile, by doing a circuit of five exercises and repeating the circuit four times. I also work my abs for about twenty minutes, which usually ends up being around eight sets with a short rest in between.

7) Sunday Long Bike:

To keep up the base of my endurance, I try my hardest to make this at least fifty miles. But the point is to get a longer bike in every week on a consistent basis. The distance will vary depending on your goals and endurance level Autel MaxiSys MS908.

Two more tips:

First, after every bike session, I pull on my running shoes and head out for at least a mile. This is a good habit to get into for help with the transition from bike to run.

Second, as I get into the higher volume weeks of my training plan, I add a second swim session on Saturdays. This session is usually very short, just to stretch my arms out.
