Our 14 Week Ironman Program Disaster

"I want to do an Ironman in 14 weeks, can you help me?
I’ve never done one before..”

If you know us and you know this podcast; you know that question is like nails on a chalkboard.. This was the question Mitch asked us last year in August, as he had started training for the Busso IM in December.

In today’s case study episode, we’re going to take you through why despite our preferences; we helped Mitch to his first Ironman and what happened over the next 14 weeks to make it possible.
