It's week zero. Or rather -0.5 if we're being technical. I start my Ironman training in 12 days. This is really just to document this event, and if you are reading and want to play along, that's cool too. I hope to post at least once a week, maybe more. And I also hope to not write huge posts that are just too long to keep up with.
The Plan: Be Iron Fit by Don Fink -- Competitive Program
This book lays it out pretty easy, 10 weeks Base Phase, 10 weeks Build Phase, 10 weeks Peak Phase. It starts at 6 hours/wk and will peak at 20 hours/wk, when it will cut back and it's then time to race! I know it's called the "competitive program", but as you'll see by my race times below, I ain't winnin' no races any time soon. I just want to be well prepared and finish in time!
