  • 21 March – Singapore 70.3
  • 1 May – Busselton Australia Half Ironman
  • June – Switzerland (double Olympic distance)
  • 26 July – Putrajaya Malaysia 70.3 (just been postponed to 4 Oct)
  • 22 August – Philippines 70.3
  • 2 Oct – Desaru Malaysia Half Ironman
  • 9 Oct – Kona Hawaii Ironman
  • 5 Dec – Western Australia Ironman
  • Preparations Before Half and Full Ironman Races 

    Training Phase 1 – base/endurance
    Focus on base and endurance, mileage of about 4 to 5k per workout. This will consist of longer sets to get the mileage in (yes, unfortunately this will be boring but it gets more exciting once this is over!)

     

    Training phase 2 – aerobic strength 

    Focus on aerobic strength, mileage of about 3k to 4.5k per workout. We will do sets of various distances, to hold consistant times with minimal interval rest.  

    Training phase 3 – speed 

    Focus on speed work, mileage of about 2k to 3k. The focus here is to “play around” with race pace speed, with longer rest intervals compared to the aerobic sets.  

    Training phase 4 – taper 

    Taper, mileage of about 1k to 1.5k. Time to rest those muscles! This phrase is the most important aspect but often overlooked. Time to enjoy, relax and get ready to race!

    Swim with SportInc has the best adult swim programme in Singapore, period. In just a few sessions with them, my stroke has improved and I feel so much smoother in the water. Desmond, Gerald and gang definitely know their stuff. If you want to get faster in the water, you won’t go wrong with SportInc.
