Dan Howitt Shares his Homework
Dan is in the process of obtaining his level one triathlon coaching qualification. As part of his assessment he had to design a 12 week program for club triathletes. They could choose any distance, so of course he decided to do Ironman. Dan has graciously decided to share his homework to have a look at or use as a guide if you wish. This program was designed for his Dad - Ironman legend Rob Howitt.
The method used for Heart Rate (HR) was based on a threshold heart rate of 180bpm less your age, then adding up to 10 beats depending on your perceived level of fitness.
* 10 beats - very fit
* 5 beats - in the process of becoming very fit
* 1 beat - thought summer was the off season
As an example a very fit 40 year old would calculate maximum aerobic threshold as follows: 180 - 40 + 10 = 150bpm which is the maximum aerobic THRESHOLD!!!
Sessions in the program have been designed using a maximum aerobic threshold of 130 - you should substitute your own number as appropriate.

Many thanks to Daniel Howitt (1x Ironman Finisher) for sharing his training program.
Club Swim Squads Swim squads are currently being held at the Warringah Aquatic Centre on a Thursday night at 6.30pm. Dan Howitt is coaching the group. The club has booked two lanes - all it costs you is pool entry.
This session is designed for all abilities and is a great way for those who have not swum in a squad to safely see what its all about.

Tks for the info and notices.
Would be great to have a definite program schedule.
I was also interested in Howitt's history competing and how he got involved in coaching.
