Iron Distance races take many months to prepare for and on the big day can either go well or not so well. Why not make things a bit easier on yourself and take on the challenge of completing the distances over a number of days. All this build up will put you in a great position to support and appreciate what the athletes are doing on the big day.
Typical, but flexible agenda
Every morning, 6.5km steady run around the Civray loop
Two steady group rides, starting in the morning, of 90km
