Ironman Training Program - Duration - 12 Weeks - Time - 10-14hrs Per Week

The document outlines a 6-week training plan consisting of swimming, biking, and running sessions. Each week focuses on one of the three disciplines for the main training sets, while incorporating the other two as warmups. The sessions progressively increase in duration and intensity over the weeks, with week 1 focusing on technique and shorter intervals and week 6 including longer high-intensity intervals and cruise intervals near lactate threshold.
