How to Build Your Own Full Distance Ironman Training Plan

[@malcburdon1536]

Glad this came up Andy. Hope to take on an IM in the next few years as a older athlete and really liked your fresh take on this.

[@andybrodziak]

Hey - really appreciate you taking the time, I hope I can add some value and help share my years of knowledge and mistakes I made plus learned from all my wonderful athletes! More video's to follow..

I love the idea of dedicating each mile on the run to a person. Thank you for the video.

[@andybrodziak]

Hey, thanks! Yes I love that and when you get emotional I find it really actually helps, such a simple tact, l learnt this from a sports psychologist once. Andy

[@paynetalent]

Your videos are packed with great advice and information. Great video Andy. I also remember to tell the monkey to get lost when I'm in the middle of a race! No time for him!!

[@andybrodziak]

Hi - oh yes the chimp!! love that myself also, thanks for the message, appreciate it! Hope you are enjoying them, more to follow! Chat soon

[@ladiesgentlemen9116]

great, informative video. coming from a running background I was surprised by how little running volume is needed. definitely need to get serious about my swim. currently prepping for a 70.3 thanks for sharing!

[@andybrodziak]

Hey! Thanks for taking the time, I am going to release a 70.3 soon as have been asked a bit for that! SO keep tuned in... Run background means you don't need to do much volume at all to "maintain" - just more conditioning off the bike I feel. Swim - so technical and can wear you out so by the time you are running your upper body is just fatigued, plus being in a TT position for so long, so the swim is important, but just to make it as easy as possible I feel. Steady, consistent weeks stack up! Enjoy

All very useful but I want to meet the, I'm assuming dog, that was scurrying around towards the end of the video! Ha! Love that you've touched on the mental edge side of things - will definitely take that on moving foward. Cheers

That was great! Thanks from Australia 🇦🇺

[@andybrodziak]

Hey - no worries, I spent a year in Sydney and Perth, loved it there just had to leave due to visa's etc - training with the gang there is quite hardcore but takes me back to some great memories.. I'll be back! Glad you enjoyed the video, more to follow!

Great content , for 70.3 could you please do a similar video when possible? Thank you 🙏

[@andybrodziak]

Hey! Thanks for the message , sounds good I’ll make a note on that and get on it!

[@utuber221]

I second this idea.

[@andybrodziak]

@@utuber221 Brilliant thanks, I'm on it!!

[@utuber221]

@@andybrodziak great. I have subscribed with notification :).

[@kyotoisinthesnow]

I would do intensity first to get to specific training ( quite far from threshold)close to the race

[@andybrodziak]

Hey - yes, I agree that's how I usually construct the plan depending on how far out to event and athletes needs. Thanks for the message

[@matt46vale]

Thanks very helpful. Tenby 2025 !

[@andybrodziak]

Hey! Thanks Matt, I appreciate the feedback.... Trying to add value and share some of my knowledge. Tenby is a beast... what a race. Look through some of my others videos about fuelling, plus S&C - that is important for a hilly run and bike course like Wales. Feel free to reach out if you need more help. Andy

[@zacwheatley673]

Would Pilates count as the S+C sessions?

[@andybrodziak]

Hey! Thanks for the message, appreciate it. Yea, I would consider specific pilates a strength session for sure. The right style and approach is gold for sure. I do strongly support, and so does the science, he sure loading for running so that’s the only thing you won’t be getting. Especially eccentric work. Andy
