Looking for a training plan to get you ready for the KS Ironman 70.3?

Ken Welsh of Midwest Triathlon Coaching has put together a training program for KC Multisport members specifically wishing to successfully complete Ironman Kansas 70.3 on June 6th, 2010.

The plan incorporates heart rate zone testing and training and takes advantage of local events such as the Kansas 1/2 Marathon in Lawrence on April 18, 2010 and the KC Triathlon in Lee's Summit on May 23, 2010.  Also part of the plan is a 70.3 Mini-Camp in Lawrence, May 7-9 (Friday evening as well as Saturday and Sunday mornings).  Plan is "Beginner to Intermediate" - designed for athletes with some background competing in triathlons but with limited experience at the Half Ironman distance.

Ken has coached over 20 athletes to successfully complete Kansas 70.3 in 2009 (with 100% PRs!)  The knowledge that went into creating this plan has been developed over the past 16 years during which he has raced 8 Ironman events, many additional 70.3 events and has coached athletes of all levels to successful triathlon finishes.  For more info about Midwest Triathlon Coaching visit www.midwesttriathloncoaching.com
