Half Ironman Training Plan - Training Tips!

Half Ironman Training Plan - Training Tips


Here is a list of a few simple and obvious points to consider. None of these should be overlooked.
1. Always check with your physician to make sure thare are no medical concerns that you need to be aware of. Even though you may feel like you are very healthy and fit you still should get a medical opinion. Your health should never be taken for granted.
2. Determine which of the 3 events is your strongest and which one is your weakest. To really improve you will want to work harder on the event that is your weakest. Do not overtain on the portion you are all ready good at.

3. Be sure you are following a specific training plan and keepr written records of your workouts. This is a great way to keep you focus and motivation. As you check off the days when you have successfully competed the prescribed training you will experience a feeling of accomplishment.

4. One day a week have a day of no training, a complete rest and recovery day. Your body will require this and you will feel and perform better when you train the next time. Light stretchin or yoga may be helpful but avoid an endurance activity workout.

5. Eat a healthy and nutitious diet. Your body requires a proper balance of carbohydrates, protein and fat along with vitamins and minerals. Stay well hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
