The Warm Up (Head Coach Editorial)

Dear Members,

It’s been a while in between drinks, after four years, Ironman 70.3 Bangsaen is officially back on the calendar. Our plan is to replicated an improved version of our 2020 plan which resulted in great results for the team, with many PB’s, World Champs qualifier slots and age group podiums.

Peridization is important, if you are already training hard, a race like LPT or Long Dash is a great way to build short course race pace which will serve as a base for the Ironman 70.3 Training. However if you haven’t done much recently, take your time, doing a Sprint race at the Tridash is a good way to blow the cob webs out of the system then build the volume gradually.

We are offering several different services to help you get fit for the race. The 16-weeks canned plans, offers a great value and is aligned with our triathlon club sessions so you can have a structure to follow the days we don’t train together.

And last but not least, we are putting together two activation sessions the day before Laguna Phuket Triathlon, I will coach them personally, hope to see you there

Enjoy your training,
Vinnie Santana
ironguides Head Coach
