Coach Lindsay Zemba Leigh offers 4 proven swim sessions that help embed your feel for race speed, get you accustomed to frequent pace changes and build confidence for going the distance.

KONA WITH CROWIE

Craig “Crowie” Alexander won the Hawaii IRONMAN 3 times, and in 2011 broke its 15-year-old course record with a devastating run off the bike. This week, he was inducted into the IRONMAN Hall of Fame.

Train side-by-side with this legend at the site of his greatest victories.  On March 14-19, 2027, join Craig Alexander’s Kona Triathlon Experience, a 6-day training camp hosted exclusively at the 5-star Mauna Lani Resort located at mile 34 of the IRONMAN bike course.

Designed for athletes of all abilities, sessions are geared to the fitness and experience of each participant.  The camp’s focus is on teaching critical skills vital for triathlon success.

UNSTOPPABLE

Let’s elevate your next race with Greg McMillan’s 3 interval sessions for faster IRONMAN runs. 

Performing one of these workouts each week will improve your economy and raise your threshold speed for a killer race finish.

CARB BLUEPRINT

Did you know that by halfway through an IRONMAN run, most triathletes can tolerate only half the carbs they could consume while on the bike?

That’s why the most successful triathletes fuel their run on the bike.
