Plan Description

Winning is a Mindset Not a Spot on the Podium

Our beginner half iron training plan is designed to help a new triathlete finish their first half iron distance rance. This plan has a mixture of mostly aerobic conditioning workouts as well as some intensity mid-week. 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"As far as the program is concerned, I could not be happier. I can honestly say that I am race ready not just to finish but to PR. I can literally see improvement not just in my speed but in how I feel and how confident I am."
