IronMan in April


Tagged as:

Kevin's challenging everyone to do an Ironman in April. No, not all at once, but over the course of a month. Check out his post here if you're interested.

This is a challenging, yet attainable goal for most folks and a great way to break out of winter. What does it take?

The total miles for a typical week might look like this. . .
.5 mile in a pool
28 miles on a bike
6.5 miles running or walking

That may look like a lot at first, but he's encouraging 2-person teams to try. I'm going to have Pak be my swimming partner that way I'll be done with the swimming section really quickly as he swims some crazy amount every morning.

If you work out 6 days a week, your week might look like this. . .
Monday . walk 30 minutes (1.5 miles)
Tuesday . swim 20 minutes (.5 miles)
Wednesday . bike 1 hour (13 miles)
Thursday . REST
Friday . walk/run 30 minutes (2.5 miles)
Saturday . bike 1 hour (13 miles)
Sunday . walk/run 30 minutes (2.5 miles)

Marc, if you read this, that bikeable distance you could cover in your sleep on your dutch commuter.
