  1. What is the average time it takes an “age-group” triathlete to prepare for an Ironman?
    Triathletes train an average of seven months for the Ford Ironman World Championship. The average hours per week devoted to training for the World Championship generally fall between 18 and 22. Average training distances for the three events:
    Miles per week swimming: 7 (11.3 km)
    Miles per week biking: 232 (373.3 km)
    Miles per week running: 48 (77.2 km)

To those of you who have gone to Kona. Would you say this is pretty accurate as far as the distances per week over the “7 months” of training for Kona.

During the seven months leading up to Kona for me in 2008:

Weekly swim: 11,700 yards
Weekly ride: 196 miles
Weekly run: 27

My run totals were down a little because I battled a few injuries during that period.
