Ironman Training Isn’t Just Swim, Bike, Run When people hear Ironman training, they picture endless miles, early alarms, and volume for the sake of volume. And yes—there’s a lot of work involved. But what often gets missed is this: Ironman training isn’t just about endurance. It’s about durability. That’s where functional fitness comes in. Preparing your body for a 3.8km swim, 180km bike, and a full marathon isn’t about suffering through sessions—it’s about building a system
