Our Long Course Training Program is designed specifically for those whose goal is Half or Full Ironman Distance. Training for full or half ironman events is not for the faint hearted, and it is recommended that you have a base fitness level to commence Ironman Training OR be prepared to put in at approximately three months (Half) or six months (full) training to lead into a race.
Training sessions are specific to long distance, building a strong aerobic training base and physical and mental strength to help improve your times and performance.
It doesn’t matter which discipline is your strongest or weakest leg in preparation for a full or half ironman, Tri-Alliance will help you improve in each.
As a Long Course member, you’ll have the flexibility to attend every coached session on the weekly timetable while receiving detailed training, strength and flexibility programs specific for Long Course as well as FREE seminars and workshops leading into targeted Ironman Races to ensure you are prepared and ready for your big race.
