70.3 question

[katinthehat]

long long long term planning here.  Like, long term.

about how long are most beginner plans for a 70.3?  I'm seeing everywhere from 12-20 weeks.

Mine was 16 weeks.

If a 70.3 was my goal race, than I'd probably be looking at a 16-20 week program, as a beginner.

perfect - thanks ladies!

I followed the bike portion of a 16 week. I swam masters 3x a week since Jan, and just maintained long runs from 10-13 on cycle post marathon (+3 shorter runs/weekly). I sort of did my own thing with bricks - I raced a lot leading up to Boulder, & did at least 20 mins after every long ride.

I really was concerned that I was not ready, but I can now say with confidence that I was well trained - I felt awesome

I am pretty sure mine was 16 weeks.
