Steelhead 70.3 (also Timberman 70.3 or Pigman Half)

This program has been designed by Sharone Aharon, USAT Level III coach, to meet the training requirements of athletes at any ability level.

This training group is for you whether you are:

an individual focused on improving your form and technique to finish the race strong
an intermediate or advanced athlete with some multisport experience, prepared to take your race day performance to the next level
an athlete with a long-term goal of completing a full Ironman

All participants receive an online training program, which details exactly what to do each day to reach your specific race day goal. Participants will train with like-minded athletes twice per week, guided closely by Well-Fit's USA Triathlon-certified coaches who will not only share knowledge but provide additional motivation.

Two classes each week will take place at the world-class Well-Fit Training Center, UIC pool, Northerly Island and Ohio Street Beach. Dates and times are listed in the class registration section below. The program includes two fully-supported group rides on the Steelhead course in Benton Harbor, Michigan.

All class members are eligible for a discount on Well-Fit's Half-Ironman Training Camp, held on the Steelhead course in Benton Harbor, MI.

The program will be led by Coach Ted Ramos, who has years of experience helping athletes accomplish their goals at the half-Ironman distance. He will be assisted by other Well-Fit coaches and Elite Team athletes.

In 2010, every athlete that completed Coach Ted's 70.3 program had so much fun that they signed up for Ironman Wisconsin 2011 to continue chasing their triathlon dreams.
