Hi John
Im enjoying your blogs, I am doing my first Ironman or woman as I would like to call it ;-)
And am wondering if you can give me any advice and if there is a specific plan you are following?
When is your Ironman?
Thanks Kelly in AZ
Kelly - I used the free 36 week plan to train for IMAZ last year (Nov 08) and it was SO helpful. I finished IMAZ with a smile on my face and was 30 minutes under my fastest predicted time. IMAZ is a great race with awesome conditions. If you have specific questions feel free to ask me. - Andi
There are two options here at OpenTri to get you ready for IMAZ - you can plug in to the free 36-week program that hundreds of folks are using today & thousands have used to successfully finish an IM over the last 10+ years (at http://opentri-training.com/free/ultra/index.htm), or you can sign up for the $99/month option to be coached by my brother Nate (who is also my coach), who is directing athletes toward IMAZ right now.
You can check out the premium service info by clicking on the "TrainingSite" tab above, which will direct you to that home page (http://opentri-training.com/)
