Looking at an doing another Ironman after a few years off (have still been training...just not at competitive ironman distance volume/intensity) next fall. Given 1 year to totally focus on this one event, how would you structure the year? Best resources to use for research without just buying a plan. Unfortunately I can't afford a coach and fwiw I enjoy creating my plans. Time is limited but schedule can be flexible.
Some basic background from 4-6 ironman races: solid swimmer (low 1:00-1:05 IM), decent biker (5:10-5:20), and the runs bit hit or miss (anywhere from 3:30 to 5:00+ walkathon) but good open runner (sub 2:40 marathon).
Yes this is putting almost all of my eggs into one basket and I know the cons to that. Will plan to do a couple half ironmans in the Spring with the 2nd right around 20 weeks out. Ultimate goal is, like many other dreamers, a Kona slot.
Sub goal will to not get beat by Taren.
