70.3 Ironman Training Plan

Built from the same program that carried me through my very first 70.3, this 16-week plan was designed by my mom - a Kona Top-10 AG finisher - with decades of triathlon experience, and adapted by me through my own racing experience. It is approachable yet challenging, structured for busy athletes who want to feel confident and prepared on race day.

70.3 Ironman 4 Week Pre-Base Training Plan

This 4-week pre-base block is designed to build foundational endurance, consistency, and confidence before you begin the full training cycle. Created from the same proven framework as the full 70.3 Ironman Training Plan, this pre-base build is designed for athletes returning from a break, rebuilding consistency, or easing into structured training for the first time.

This plan is included with the Train Payne Membership - no need to purchase separately.
