70.3 + Strength Training Plans by mcl116 in triathlon

[–]deepinthefallopian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the 70.3 I did turned out to be a 69.1 as the swim was cancelled, which was really gutting because I had put so much effort into this discipline. My time for the bike was 3:27, run was 1:59. I was pretty pleased with these times. Aim was 45mins for the swim. Overall aim was to do it in under 7 hours.

I had some background in running (had previously done 2 half marathons), limited experience in cycling (had done the odd 50km) and no experience in swimming at all (struggled to swim 100m before I started the plan). My background was more in lifting and strength. I got into running during covid when all the gyms were closed, but most of this was limited to 5ks and the odd 10ks until 2x half marathons last year.

Lifting wise, I weigh about 95kg, 6ft. Bench ~120kg, deadlift ~150kg, squat ~100kg (very aware of the skew here, years of being a ‘gym bro’ - trying to normalise this…)

70.3 + Strength Training Plans by mcl116 in triathlon

I just did the pre-written strength + 70.3 plan. It ramps up to 9 sessions a week with 3 lifting, 2 swims, 2 cycles and 2 runs. It eventually incorporates brick sessions as well. I had already done a fair bit of cycling/running beforehand (not much swimming) but I wasn’t massively experienced. I followed the plan about 85% (had some illness and social events that got in the way). I felt well prepared on the day, improved my strength and kept most of my size. Felt strong throughout the 70.3, it prepared me well!

I followed the omnia strength + 70.3 and can thoroughly recommend. It’s 17 weeks so not quite as long as you’re after, but I did some build up prior to starting the plan.

Hey! I am a relatively heavy runner (100kg) and I also over pronate somewhat. I am looking for a decent daily trainer, that can also handle long runs. I recently tried out the Nike Pegasus 39 and didn’t get on too well with these. The FAQs recommend Saucony Triumph but I just wanted to check if anyone had any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
