While both types of training share similarities in endurance, strength, and discipline, the specific demands of a 70.3 race require a more tailored approach. This article explores the key differences between a 70.3 training plan and a triathlon training plan, offering insights for athletes at all levels. What is a 70.3 Triathlon? A 70.3 triathlon, often referred to as a Half Ironman, comprises a 1.2-mile swim, a 56-mile bike ride, and a 13.1-mile run. The total distance of 70.3 miles (113 km) is what gives the event its name. Compared to standard sprint or Olympic triathlons, which are shorter and less grueling, the 70.3 requires a more strategic and intense training regimen.

 I can hear you sighing from here. Believe me, I am sick to death of talking about this pandemic just as much as you are of reading about it in dealing with it. After almost 3 years of this, we all just can’t wait for it to go away regardless of its health implications. Unfortunately, it’s going to be a while before it’s completely safe, and I highly advise that people avoid any absolutely unnecessary in-person get-togethers. In many aspects of life, the transition to a digitally-based version of it was an inevitability anyhow, with brick-and-mortar experiences for work, learning and commerce being outmoded and honestly unnecessary.
