Can you cover the distance of a Half or Full Ironman distance Triathlon in one week? In the latest club challenge, that’s exactly what we’d like you to explore! Lace up your runners, oil your chains, dial in the right nutrition and lets get this challenge going! The goal is to cover distance, so speed, time or how many training sessions it takes doesn’t matter! This is a participation event, for fun and to challenge ourselves and finish March out in style.
Set yourself a goal to complete the total distance during the week(run, bike only, no swimming required):
- Half distance
- Run 1.9km, Cycle 90km, Run 21km
- Full distance
- Run 3.8km, Cycle 180km, Run 42km
Covering the half distance could be the perfect challenge for someone new to the sport, with some existing fitness and eager to get a solid weeks training in. More experienced members might like to challenge themselves with extending the distance they cover in the week, some might tackle the full distance in a shorter amount of time.
As you consider whether to go for Half or Full, reflect on your recent training, assess whether you have the endurance and ability for either challenge, this is not the time to go from Zero to Hero and risk injury.
