IronFit Secrets for Half Iron-Distance Triathlon Success: Time-Efficient Training for Triathlon's Most Popular Distance Description
Why is the Half Iron-Distance the most popular triathlon distance? Because it is the perfect length for busy athletes with demanding career and family responsibilities. Full Iron-Distance races require such painstaking planning and sacrifice that it’s difficult to keep life in balance. The Half Iron-Distance is accessible, while remaining challenging.
Also known as the “70.3” for the sum of its 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike ride, and 13.1 mile run, the half-iron triathlon is not simply a race for which an athlete can use a full-iron training regimen chopped in half. Doing so would in no way approach maximizing an athlete’s performance. The races are performed at completely different intensity levels, with completely different approaches. As a result, the training is completely different. IronFit Secrets to Half Iron-Distance Triathlon Success does for the half-iron what Be IronFit has done for the full-iron. It provides three sixteen-week training programs—Competitive, Intermediate, and “Just Finish”—and details everything an athlete needs to know to successfully prepare for and maximize performance at this racing distance. In as little as four months, any athlete can be physically and mentally ready for the world’s most popular triathlon challenge.

When I first started in triathlon, I bought and read 7 books by various authors/coaches. Don's style stood out to me as a perfect balance of providing the technical know-how that I lacked, as well as the plain language common sense perspective which I enjoy and prefer to learn from. This book approaches the half iron-distance approach in a similar manner to his earlier books which focused on the full Ironman distance. It works. Using Don Fink's guidance, I went from couch potato to Kona and 70.3 World Championship qualifier over the course of seven years, while enjoying every minute of the journey.
Whether your goal is to go from the couch to completion of your first 70.3, or to eventually test your full potential at the distance, you simply do not need to look further. He's been there and done that, but more importantly, he's helped a vast number of individuals (including me) do the same thing.
