FULL WEEK OF HALF IRONMAN TRAINING - workouts with an aspiring pro triathlete

In this video, follow Miguel as he goes through an entire week of triathlon training. Our first race of the season, Ironman 70.3 Florida in Haines City, is eight weeks out, so our workout schedules are starting to picking up before the pre-race taper. The week consisted of easy runs and track workouts, indoor trainer rides and long outdoor TT sessions, and sunny California swims (no complaints here). Will it be enough to get him a spot at Ironman 70.3 World Champs in St. George, Utah in September?

ABOUT US
We’re Jenna and Miguel-
With humble roots as college swimmers and academics, we’ve worked hard to become two of the country’s leading age-group triathletes, and are now on a mission to become professional athletes and content gurus. We swim-bike-run together, eat together, sleep together, do actual work next to each other, and make videos together for our own enjoyment and (someone’s?) education.
Throughout our documented journey, watch how a couple of ambitious 20-something-year-olds work towards their ultimate life goals in a disciplined yet untraditional, not-so-serious manner.

[@jbasilb]

Sweet stuff! You should definitely post some alpine skiing

[@natestaub7961]

See you in Haines city brother man guy

[@veggiem0nster]

8:25 "Keeping my cadence up"... while doing 5000 rpm 🤣

[@Cookefan59]

Very interesting and I wanted to watch the whole video but those ssssss sounds were making my eyes water. Best of luck young man you seem to be a great guy.

[@earayaCR]

Good content guys!!

[@user-pg1ys6tt1w]

This video made me go for a 15k run thanks!

[@FreestyleTri]

We’re so sorry...

[@pialenamariesophie]

4:32 is a mood 😏

[@janknoblich4129]

Seriously. Find someone who looks at you the way Jenna looks at Miguel at 4:32 lol

[@Chrisdakiwi100]

So good to watch really good video. Just wondering who is the one person who hit dislike for the video??? 🤔

[@FreestyleTri]

we consider it more as a badge of honor ... so thank you, whoever you are!

[@Jaba6798]

Your editor is really good

[@FreestyleTri]

Thanks! Miguel edits!

[@manuelsilva6833]

Hey guys, just found your channel! Very good content :) Will continue to watch it! Out of curiosity, is Miguel from Portugal? The name is typical from our country (I am Portuguese too)!

[@FreestyleTri]

thanks Manuel (Miguel here) -- appreciate the positive remarks! my heritage is Mexican & Spanish, but born and raised in the States 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@ezeddie9747]

Love the video The tie dyed swim trunks are awesome. Where did you get them

[@FreestyleTri]

thanks Eddie- they're my favorites (as with everything tie-dye). Won them in a Speedo giveaway on instagram!

[@stephant496]

man. these running tracks, i'm jealous

[@PhreedomKiniat]

Great video, always super motivational to see someone executing a week like that! Thank you :) Also wanted to ask, the shorts you wear for the Sunday long run, looks like the inner short has some sort of pocket for a phone, looks exactly like what I'm trying to find! Any chance you got a name or brand I could look for to get myself a pair? (not a fan of the running belts as I feel they squeeze the stomach., and this looks like the optimal alternative) :) Looking forward to following along your journey.

[@FreestyleTri]

Hey Mathias- thanks for the kind words! Lululemon Surge short has a great liner pocket 🤙🏽

[@PhreedomKiniat]

@@FreestyleTri Thank you! Will definitely take look. 👏🏽

[@andrewberumen]

The struggle is real with having enough bike bibs. I think the ideal number of bibs for tri training is N + 1

[@FreestyleTri]

Our sport is too expensive!

[@kingwizard2417]

“I just wanna see you take your shirt off” lol

[@jessecole6765]

“I switched my music to the Grateful Dead” good choice my man.

[@FreestyleTri]

truly no other way

[@patricktrentalange703]

I mean it was Dead an Co. so I am shocked you didn't slow down significantly ;)

[@keisarijokinen]

Damn, how do you have under 10k subs with this quality... Subbed! I’m a starter triathlete, it would be awesome to hear your opinion on beginner training plans. Haven’t found a good training plan yet. Anyway, keep up the good work! Greetings from Finland.
