CoachAJ replied to the topic Training plan in the forum Half Ironman Program (HIP) for Paid Participants 4 years, 8 months ago
The strength training workouts are put on swim days because your bike days will eventually have a brick included and some run days will have an extra spin for more saddle time. So it’s just for ease of scheduling and hopefully getting in a routine. However, strength training can be done any day of the week. It just needs to happen.

CoachAJ replied to the topic Lodging for IM Placid in the forum Ironman Program (IMP) for Paid Participants 4 years, 8 months ago
Nice work Nick getting the conversation started…and lodging is something you don’t want to sleep on. Lake Placid is NOT a cheap place especially around Ironman time. Prices inflate tremendously during this time. So if anyone is interested, it’s best to start those conversations now.
Thanks all for coming out last evening!

Training Peaks is your log so you are welcome to record whatever activity you prefer. As part of a group training program, data analysis is not included. So this log is just for your purposes.

Good question because now you know how important glut and core strengthening is to keep you healthy and minimize injury.
The exercises that I referred to last night that I recommend you follow are included in the Athlete’s Guide and under the resource/handouts tab on the ODP 2020 forum on the DCTC website.
Get to them! 🙂

You do, in fact, have the intermediate plan. If anyone would like to change their plan, I would recommend that we do it earlier versus later. When I unapply your plan, you lose all of your workout data already completed.
That said, remember that the first build cycle is ‘lighter’ than normal because it’s ‘purpose’ (which we are going to t…[Read more]

CoachAJ replied to the topic URL for galloway blog in the forum Half Ironman Program (HIP) for Paid Participants 4 years, 8 months ago
Yes, we are requiring you to click on a link 😉 We have considered other formats. However posts will get more robust so it’s hard to thoroughly answer questions on other platforms. We tried Facebook a few years ago and had complaints because many people weren’t on FB. So this was the best way forward we could find.
Please don’t be afraid to lo…[Read more]

Fantastic! The forum works. Thanks Mark for getting the conversation started.
Actually the link included was a more general run/walk strategy for any ‘running’ effort (running, triathlon, etc). However this is an excellent find as it’s very specific to the sport of triathlon and all distances! I encourage everyone to take 3 minutes and rea…[Read more]

IMPers,
It’s almost race day! And as you are likely finding, race week is it’s own Ironman. Hopefully you were able to pack ahead of time, complete your race plan with time to organize and keep stress levels down so this week is more manageable.
We haven’t heard too much on the forum so hopefully everyone is feeling rested and ready! Be su…[Read more]

CoachAJ replied to the topic Water temp/wet suit – IM MD in the forum Ironman Program (IMP) for Paid Participants 5 years ago
Thank you for the helpful, practical information Joseph. Please understand that the IM swim start (as well as other distances too) continue to adjust their format as needs change (ie minimizing accidents in the water). Thus the process continues to change. The take home here is prepare for anything, practice for everything.

CoachAJ replied to the topic Water temp/wet suit – IM MD in the forum Ironman Program (IMP) for Paid Participants 5 years ago
Sounds like someone is doing their race prep! Nice work!
For your questions regarding the water temperatures, I would prepare for both wetsuit legal and swimming without a wetsuit. I am not aware of a wetsuit only wave. If you chose to wear a wetsuit in the grey area, I believe you start with everyone else. That said, these processes con…[Read more]
