Training Tips for IRONMAN Canada-Ottawa

1

Practice swimming in moving water and work on adjusting your stroke for river currents.

2

Practice power management on rolling courses — surge over short rises, then recover on the descents without losing momentum.

3

Train on gently rolling courses and practice running by effort rather than pace — ease up on the ups, recover on the downs.

4

Nail your nutrition by testing your exact race-day plan during long brick sessions — what works at hour one may not work at hour eight.
