Ironman Lake Placid Coach
Lake Placid is one of the hardest North American Ironmans. Two big bike loops, a hilly marathon, and altitude that bites if you're unprepared.
Bike strength block
Long climbs at sweet-spot to threshold, paired with descending skills. The Keene descent and the long climb back to town are rehearsed weekly.
Hilly marathon pacing
Rolling effort-based pacing with HR caps. We script the two-loop run by quarter.
Altitude considerations
Lake Placid sits at 1,800 ft. Not high — but enough to matter for sea-level athletes. We layer aerobic emphasis.
