Train for an Ironman triathlon with TNT!

The Ironman distance is a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike and a 26.2-mile run.

The TNT IronTeam is a nine- to 10-month training program specifically designed to train you to complete an Ironman distance triathlon.

Training

The training itself is broken up into three trimesters. The first three or so months is the "Base" season with anticipated weekly training of five to 11 hours. The second trimester is the "Build" phase, with anticipated weekly training of six to 13 hours. The last is the "Race" phase, with weekly-anticipated training of eight to 18 hours.

As in all Team In Training programs, we provide coach-led and past participant-led buddy trainings. The IronTeam follows a comprehensive schedule developed by the coaches, including training mileage, strength and cross training and rest days. In addition, clinics are held throughout the training period, covering topics such as nutrition, injury prevention, shoe and equipment selection, strength training and sports psychology.
