I’m currently training for IMMT in August this year and trying to figure out how I benchmeark / measure progress with my training to confirm that I’m on track to reach my race goals (<12 hrs finish time).
I have found this article (https://alancouzens.com/blog/benchmarks.html), which was a good starting point but has a lot of short distances and a few other strange neasurements, like : Wingate bike, 5RM squats, CP5, 5K run, etc.
My main takeaway, was that Z2 speed should be main benchmark for Ironman performance.
Do you agree ? Does this make sense ?
Thanks !
