How To Build Your Winter IRONMAN Training Plan | Ep 561
Oxygenaddict Triathlon Podcast
How Often and How To Swim in Winter
Rob advises swimmers to choose frequency by goals: one key swim weekly, three sessions if needing big improvement.
In this episode, Coach Rob breaks down exactly how to plan and structure your winter Ironman or 70.3 training so you make massive progress on limited time.
You’ll learn:
✅ The right way to balance swim, bike, run, and strength work in winter
✅ Why 1 focused hour a day usually beats “big volume” training
✅ How to test and track your fitness in TrainingPeaks
✅ When to push hard (and when to back off) using HRV
✅ Nutrition planning to compliment winter training and maximise performance gains
Perfect for busy age-groupers who want to build endurance, strength and consistency without burning out.
