5 hours training a week, Brother! It’s that easy!
A realistic goal for you should be to eat 1 bag of chips instead of the usual two per sitting.
Good Luck, See you in Kona!

Cycling’s the hardest part in Ironman!

I did my 1st last Sept at IM-MOO. Just train yourself for a century ride, a marathon and a 4,000 yd open water swim at the same time. Cut out all the filler workouts, include some threshold and recovery work and be very, very patient.

Took me 3 years.

You need at least 15 hours a week training for the ironman. The Pros usually 35-40hours a week.

Swimming 4/w, running 4/w cycling 3/w …

i have to comment on the person that says you have to train at least 15 hours a week… i think thats not the case…. it all depends on the intensity of the training sessions and how well you take care of your body…. my first ironman i trained 12 hours a week and did the ironman in 13hours and felt very good after that… so dont get fooled with hours.. you can train long hours without putting in the intencity and that can be your down fall.. listen to your body… eat well prepare well….

Big advance in frames from 08 to 09 – last season looks dated already! – it’s an expensive sport. At least US$ 8,000 for a pro bike and easly 10k if you go all out!
