What a great feeling to have our A+++ race planned for 2015!!! Is it too early to start the Kona countdown? So the question is....How much fitness can we gain over the next year as we save our best performance for the 2015 Ironman World Championship? Just to clarify, we will never race injured or sick so this schedule is always subject to change. Also, no race on this schedule is as important as Kona so we will never put our bodies in a situation that we may sabotage our Kona race day performance in a less important race. Because we do not incorporate a lot of high volume training into our Ironman training plans, we will use most of our season focusing on skills/form, strength and speed prior to increasing volume. Our typical IM prep is around 12 consecutive weeks. Also, we know that life "happens" all the time and we always strive to find balance in life as age group triathletes so rarely does a planned schedule go 100% as planned. I will dedicate a blog her...
