My 2015 Race Schedule and Nautica Malibu Triathlon Training Volume

Dave's 2015 Race Schedule

• September 20, 2015  Nautica Malibu  Triathlon  1/2-mi. S/18-mi. B/4-mi. R

• season primer: I want to beat my 2012 time of 1:45:30 but I also want to get into the rhythm of training consistently.  I plan on being lean and mean by this race; I should be at least 13-weeks into my ketogenic diet and burning fat more efficiently

• October 11, 2015  JetBlue Long Beach Marathon  26.2 mile run

• This is an A-priority race and I plan to PR (personal record) on my marathon.  I should already be a lean-mean-fat-burning-machine by the time I start this race

• HITS Palm Springs Half-Ironman  1.2-mi. S/56-mi. B/13.1-mi. R

• An end-of-season A-priority race.  I plan on getting a half-ironman PR at this race and beating my 5:51 that I got at half-Vineman and half-Ironman CA in 2006

I've got lofty goals for this season but despite being older, I'm 10x  smarter.

Nautica Malibu Tri Plan

I'll run a base-style training block where the priority is consistency.  The only high-intensity training I'll do is during my strength training and everything else will be long-slow-distance intensity.  My goal volume is the following:

• 20 swims
• 20 strength and core training sessions
• 30 bricks ( bike to run)
• 10 race simulations

Training Guidelines 

• No Sleep, No Train
• Maintain Ketogenic Diet
• 15 minute stretching daily
• Technique drills during all workouts except for simulations

I'll be updating my training plan with details on my strength training routine, biking drills, running drills, and swimming drills.  Stay tuned.
