Recommended Minimum Fitness Level

The Ironman 70.3 triathlon is a challenging event. To make sure this is the right program for you, we have established some minimum fitness requirements for participation. In addition to having completed a minimum of one or more Olympic Distance Triathlons in the last year, all participants should be comfortably able to complete the following prior to the start of the program:

  • Swim: 20-30 minutes (1000-1500 yards) non-stop, easy swim (or with minimal rest)

  • Bike: 1:45 (one hour, 45 minutes) nonstop, easy riding

    • We HIGHLY recommend participating in a coached, indoor cycling class prior to riding outside, so you're ready to go when we hit the roads! CES hosts a GREAT class — please consider registering for it!

    • During our group rides, Coaches will make their way between and among each group. They will stay with the main group of riders and cannot chase down those who strike out on their own, or can't hold the stated pace. Pace range is an average ride speed (not a peak speed briefly flirted with on a downhill with a tailwind).

    • Three Pace Groups

      • 17–21mph average

      • 15–18mph average

      • 13–16mph average

  • Run: 45-60 minute easy run or run/walk

We're not concerned with how fast you go, but with your ability to complete the time/distance comfortably! If you do NOT meet the above recommended minimums, please contact us before signing up, so our coaches can help you make the SMART decision!
