Summary
You may be committed to, or thinking about committing to, your very first IRONMAN® event. You might be salivating at a return to racing following a very dry 2020 season, or, you could be committed to making this your best race season ever and are desperate to get it right.
What does it take to have your best performance at IRONMAN® racing? There is no escaping the requirement to thoroughly prepare and, as we say ‘go on the journey.’ A successful IRONMAN® event is not a single day, but a multi-month or multi-year journey. You want to do it right.
Whether this is a return to the sport and IRONMAN® racing, or it is a calling for your very first big finish line, this episode will provide a coach's guide to help you set the mindset, the approach, and a few practical tips to take you on the journey -- all within a time-starved life.
