IRONMAN TRAINING 2021

ABOUT THIS TRAINING LOG

I kept a paper training journal when I was younger; I still have most of those notes today and it is fun for me to re-read them.

With the goal of an Ironman ahead of me, I thought it would be a good idea to start writing things down again; instead of paper, I created this digital format.

RELEVANCY

I hope it is relevant for:

• Friends and family wanting to know why I can't do "name any activity" on weekends anymore.
• Those embarked on their own similar journey and want to read about my process.
• My boss who may be wondering "the real reason" we are getting too close to our project's deadline.

Most importantly, this training log is relevant for me, as a record my experiences, the hurdles I face, the victories won and importanly, the bonds formed along the way.

SOME CONTEXT ABOUT ME

I am approaching my 50th bithday and do not have a great amount of endurance sport experience. I do have the desire to see this journey across an Ironman red carpet.

ORGANIZATION

I took the date of IRONMAN Canada-Penticton, August 29, 2021 and worked back from there, creating a web page for every training week, 52 weeks in all.

Each webpage dedicated to a training week contains a WEEKLY GOAL, a SUMMARY and notes from SUNDAY to SATURDAY (the scheduled workouts, what I completed and importantly, how I felt).

There is a calendar page that gives you quick access to any completed week and highlights and special dates relative to my Ironman training.

The following link will take you to my current training week:
