Train for an Ironman Distance Triathlon with Team In Training^® (TNT)
The Ironman distance is a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike and a 26.2-mile run. The TNT IronTeam consists of a nine- to 10-month program beginning now, and training for 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 team follows a comprehensive schedule developed by the coaches, including training mileage, strength and cross training and a schedule of rest. In addition, training clinics are held throughout the training period, covering such topics as nutrition, injury prevention, shoe and equipment selection, strength training and sports psychology.
