\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n An Ironman Triathlon consists of a 3.8km swim, 180km ride and the marathon (42.2km run). Training for this all-day-multisport endurance event can take up to 3-6 months of preparation depending on your athletic history.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n An Ironman Triathlon is one of the most rewarding journeys you can go on. You will find out so much about yourself in the months of training leading into this, not to mention during the last 60km on the bike leg and 25-35km mark of the marathon. You will be pushed to your absolute limits both physically and mentally. The runners high and addictive feeling of self-achievement will keep you coming back for more.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So, if you are already a marathon runner and are thinking of stepping up to the challenge of becoming an Ironman you already have an aerobic base, running strength and the mental discipline to get you there.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/blog.brooksrunning.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Cozumel-Finish-@FinshersPix-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Cozumel Finish @FinshersPix” _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”98%” custom_padding=”|||31px||”]<\/p>\n3 Top Running Related Tips \u2013 Ironman Training<\/strong><\/h2>\n
