It also depends if you choose to incorporate strength training into your program. Remember, you will only be spending 30 mins or so in the weight room per session. It'll pay you great dividends if you have a smooth, energy saving stroke come race-day.
if you're a runner, you would possibly get by with three running days a week and spend some more time on the other elements.
An ordinary training-week might consist of four swims, three runs, three bikes and at least 2 and preferably three weight sessions. whenever possible try and do 2 disciplines a day. With the exception of a long run day or long bike day---2 hours or more. In that case only do the one event.
You may use your rest day for a visit to the chiropractor, massage treatment or merely to chill and maybe do some visualization about your approaching race.
As an example weight training and a swim.
So I might suggest that once a week for sure you bike at least an hour ( exercise bike or wind-trainer is fine ) followed inside 3-4 minutes at the most by a run of at least thirty mins. This may give you a brilliant idea how the different muscles react to that transition. This is an awfully key part of your training-week.
There will be times when you just feel totally worn out after weeks of steady training. When that happens take a full weekend off and do nothing at all connected with your Ironman training. arrives you'll be all set to get back at it.
Maybe do only one maintenance work-out a day for 6 days, have your full day off and then go back to your ordinary training program. regularly potential Ironmen forget how vital rest is. Its a vital element of your preparation. Coaching 25 days straight without let-up will not guarantee a successful race. I know, I have tried it. If anything it may lead to injury.
If anything out of the normal starts to damage and its a pain you have never felt before---stop what you're doing!! Rest it and then try again. As an example, if you are feeling something in your knee while running that could probably be an injury surfacing, don't keep running on it. Swim for a few days--because its non-impact--give your knee a rest--then try a short run and see what happens. If it feels fine, then do not worry about it. Just monitor it for the following couple of runs. If it persists, have it checked out.
Its necessary to keep your training-week as consistent as possible, but not when it would lead to significant injury.
Don't fall into that trap.
In the process of preparing for your first Ironman, you're also getting yourself into possibly the best shape of your life.
