A friend/coworker and I decided that I was time to attempt the goal of completing a half Ironman. The race we chose was the second annual Augusta ESI Ironman 70.3. It was to occur on September 25 2010. I was able to develop a 16 week training program for the race after signing up, giving me a good four months to get into the type of shape that would be required to complete the race. Generic sites such as beginnertriathelete.com provide a good base for training schedules and I use a few of them as go bys to develop my training program.
As with any training program there are specifics to an individual that need to be catered to. These specifics include items such as: school, work, family, friends, vacations, etc. Because of these aspects it can pretty much be guaranteed that a generic plan will NOT work for the average person. As I mentioned previously however, these plans can provide the basics such as workout duration, variety, intensity levels, and duration over a 10-18 week time period. I have used them in the past for training for running.
So the race is chosen and the basic training plan has been set.
