Ironplanner

Ironman preparation requires much more than training. Ironplanner saves time and prepares athletes logistically for the task ahead.

Ironman hopefuls are adding Ironplanner to their mandatory race equipment. The latest in the Ironman™ book series, this guide can be used with any training plan. It fills the gap between the physical training for the event and the considerable logistical preparation required for a successful Ironman race.

The checklists keep athletes focused as they train. Preparing for an Ironman requires constant evaluation, creativity, imagination and analysis. Ironplanner channels this process, culminating in a written race plan that will guide athletes through one of the most difficult and memorable days of their lives.

Features include:

  • Worksheets, checklists and a 100-item countdown available for download online to purchasers who want to create their own race notebook
  • No-nonsense instructions for creating a mental toolkit with useful imagery and focusing tactics
  • Fueling worksheets to help athletes monitor and evaluate fuels so they can develop a practiced strategy that will work on race day
  • Details like making a “spectator packet” for family, managing your race day bags, and items to stash in the car during the grueling months of training, make this book a real standout.

The book is short and to the point. You can read it quickly but you will come back to it again and again. Available for online and in bookstores ($16.95).

Joe Friel, coach and author of The Triathlete’s Training Bible says, “What a great book! The Ironplanner, along with a sensible training plan and dedicated preparation, is sure to produce a successful race.”

Mark Allen, six-time Ironman Triathlon World Champion and co-author of Fit Soul, Fit Body: 9 Keys to a Healthier, Happier You said: "Fantastic. A simple plan that covers all the details that will make or break your Ironman race."
