Completing a full-distance triathlon like an Ironman 140.6 often comes down to avoiding the mistakes that can unravel your race over a very long day. In this video, I talk through five of the worst things you can do in an Ironman and how to avoid them. I’ve included pacing errors that start in the swim and compound on the bike (I once rode too hard at Ironman Florida just to stay warm in the cold, and it cost me during the marathon), why chasing an overly aggressive aero position can destroy your run, how simple heat acclimation strategies can protect your performance in warm conditions, the nutrition and hydration mistakes that are responsible for more DNFs than almost anything else, and why race day is absolutely the wrong time to try anything new. 🛍️ MYPROCOACH GEAR Grab our official triathlon, cycling, and running gear here 👉 https://jakroo.com/store-front?storeI... 🥇 COACH PHIL’S TOP RESOURCES • Flexible Training Plans: Get a plan that fits your life + coach support. 🔗 http://tinyurl.com/PhilsTrainingPlans • Weekly Email Newsletter: Get exclusive training tips and video advice. 🔗 https://tinyurl.com/TrainingAdvice 🙌 JOIN OUR COMMUNITY • Strava Club: / strava • Instagram: / myprocoach_ • Facebook: [ / myprocoach • Private Team Group (For MyProCoach Athletes): https://www.myprocoach.net/team/ ⏱️ TIME STAMPS 00:00 The 5 Worst IRONMAN 140.6 Mistakes (and How to Avoid Them) 01:07 Mistake 1: Pacing Too Hard in the Swim and on the Bike 02:22 How to Set Your IRONMAN Bike Power Targets (FTP Guide) 03:37 Mistake 2: Sacrificing Comfort for an Aggressive Aero Position 04:53 Mistake 3: Skipping Heat Acclimation Before Race Day 05:49 Mistake 4: IRONMAN Nutrition and Hydration Errors 07:03 Mistake 5: Using Untested Gear and Nutrition on Race Day 07:45 Why Race Rehearsal Workouts Are Essential for IRONMAN 08:12 IRONMAN Training Plans and Final Thoughts 🏊‍♂️ ABOUT PHIL MOSLEY Phil is one of the world’s most popular coaches, dedicated to helping you reach the next level in triathlon and running.
