One of the 5 systems we look to train when designing a program is called neuromuscular, this term simply means the link between brain and muscle.

Coach Shem: 10 Marathon Tips
1. Taper – A well structured taper is essential to run a good one on race day. It gives your legs a chance to fully rest and “soak up” the many kilometres that have been put into them in training. It is NOT an excuse to do nothing and “Carbo- Load”- Please! There are many factors that will determine a good taper- training load, recent race history, recovery from injury, etc. As a rule of thumb, cut down on total weekly volume to 75%, 2 weeks out and then again to 50% in the 1 week leading up to race day. Retain some speed work and intensity to keep the specific neuro-muscular impulses firing – this will help maintain a high stride rate. (more)
Profiles: Bill Dobson – overweight to Ironman 70.3 Champion
Bill was a triathlete and marathoner on his teens and early 20`s, then switched his priority to his career in finances and with that you get the long working hours and unhealthy lifestyle habits. A few years after turning 40, Bill decided it was time for a change and has since then slowly changed his habits and lifestyle, although working as a CFO is never a relaxing job, Bill has managed to organize his schedule which allows him a 60-90min workout first thing in the morning on weekdays, and he does his long workouts on the weekends.

Coaching Service Offers – Monthly Subscription starting at $49/month
ironguides’ Method Triathlon Training Subscriptions give you a variety of online Triathlon Training subscription plans to choose from at a low monthly cost. Our Subscription plans are suited to those who want “just the plan” and want to train using the principles and techniques of The Method!
“I’ve always been self-coached but didn’t want the commitment of a coach while I was interested in following a structure that works. The subscription service is a great idea as I’m still able to train using The Method, while it fits my budget and gives me flexibility to change the focus from single discipline to the balanced programme as I progress into the season”
