🇬🇧Training for your first IRONMAN or 70.3?
Fix your swim before race day

• Swim more often, not just longer
3–4 focused sessions/week beats one long suffer swim.

• Technique > fitness
Bad mechanics waste energy you’ll need on the bike and run.

• Intervals build control
Short repeats (25–100m) teach rhythm, speed, and calm.

• Breathe to stay relaxed
Exhale underwater — panic starts when you hold air.

• Get feedback, not guesses
Video or a coach will change your swim faster than more meter

🇧🇷Treinando para o seu primeiro IRONMAN ou 70.3?
Arrume a natação antes do dia da prova

• Nade mais vezes, não só mais longo
3–4 treinos bem feitos na semana valem mais do que um único treino longo no sofrimento.

• Técnica vem antes do preparo físico
Nadar errado cansa mais e rouba energia da bike e da corrida.

• Intervalos dão controle de verdade
Séries curtas (25–100m) melhoram ritmo, velocidade e tranquilidade na água.

• Respire para não entrar em pânico
Solte o ar dentro d’água. Segurar a respiração quebra tudo.

• Feedback vale mais que achismo
Vídeo ou treinador corrigem sua natação muito mais rápido do que só aumentar metragem.

Thinking about an Ironman? 🏊🚴🏃
Ask yourself these 5 questions first…

1️⃣ Am I ready to train 10–15 hrs/week?
It’s not just weekends — it’s early mornings, late nights, and saying no to some plans.

2️⃣ Can I commit for 6–12 months?
Training is a marathon before the marathon — consistency is everything.

3️⃣ Do I have the gear (and budget) for 3 sports?
Bike, wetsuit, running shoes… and the maintenance that comes with them.

4️⃣ Am I prepared for mental AND physical grind?
The race is tough — but training fatigue and motivation dips are tougher.

5️⃣ Do I truly want it, or just like the idea?
Loving the journey matters more than loving the medal.

Early and quiet ride around Kent this morning. A bit foggy to start, then the sun came out. No wind either!

Short run after. Brick day done!

The last bike ride is done! Today I finished my last brick session and it feels good. It was months of tired legs and hard work on the pedals. Now the hard work is over. I am ready for race day.
