Ironman Training
The Club Emerald IronCrew selects an Ironman event each year and focuses their base, preparation and peak training to this ultimate test of physical endurance and celebration of the human spirit.
The IronCrew is run as a separate team with the chosen event dictating our training schedule. We will generally spend 18-22 weeks with dedicated training pointing toward our goal event. The months leading up to the kick-off of our training will be filled with base training and conditioning to ensure the best season possible.
2005, 2006 and 2007 saw us head east of the mountains to Ironman Coeur d'Alene. 2008 has brought us a change of venue as we have chosen to venture to Ironman Arizona. This test of a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride and 26.2 mile run will bring out every possible human emotion as you train for and ultimately conquer this unbelievable race of all races.
During your 18-22 weeks of concentrated training, you can expect to experience at least two century bike rides, a full marathon and many open water swims of up to 2.5 miles. You WILL be ready to tackle whatever Ironman throws at you!
Whether you are dreaming of attempting your first Ironman or are an accomplished Ironman veteran looking to improve your time and training experience, you have come to the right place!
Let Ginny's knowledge of Iron distance training and racing, and vast background in coaching get you to your goal. If you have registered for an event that the IronCrew is attending, you will have the luxury of training alongside teammates all chasing the same goal.
