Macca's Ironman NZ Plan

Overview

I have built a framework of a plan for you guys to give some substance of the balance of work that needs to be done between now and New Zealand. I will build in a run focus later in the new year to prepare us for the MDS. Right now we have to maintain some sort of training post Bahrain that is focused on the workloads we need to get done.

Total Weekly hours : 8 to 14 hours
