EVENT DESCRIPTION
The Workout:

This session develops and challenges your Ironman race pace. The body of this training session includes 6 x 800 meters. However, the challenge is in the recovery. After running the 800m at just above threshold pace, the 300m recovery to complete the 1km is at close to Ironman pace. Similar to other sessions in the Zwift Academy Tri program; working above and below target paces is a really effective way to improve them.

The Coach:

Dan Plews is a world-class coach and researcher. He has a Ph.D. in Exercise Physiology. And more than 30 peer-reviewed publications have published his work on topics like training in the heat, training intensity distribution, and training monitoring. As a coach, Dan has guided three athletes to finishes under the 8-hour barrier in Ironman-distance triathlons. 8 hours. Bonkers, right?

As an athlete, Dan applies all he knows with impressive results. He is the current age-group course record holder at the Ironman World Championship in Kona with a time of 8 hours 24 minutes.
