Man this looks absolutely sick, and if what I read is true than Asylum will make Insanity look easy. I want to dive into this so bad but it will have to wait until this coming winter. There is no way I can train for this half ironman along with the marathon and do Asylum at the same time, though I have no doubt that a program like this would help in performance in either of those events. I’ll stick to traditional triathlon training for now.
This is a post Insanity workout meaning you should graduate Insanity first and then jump into the Asylum workouts. I’ll probably do a month of Max Insanity workouts come December and then start Asylum in January 2012. Thing I like about it the most is that it’s a 30 day program but I noticed it says Volume 1, does that mean there are others to follow? I’ll let you know once I hear.
Till next time, I run do you?

So I put together my training program for the Half IronmMan and let’s just say it’s no walk in the park. Needless to say I’m going to be hitting the gym frequently and early in order to get the bulk of the long training in. Being a husband and father, I don’t want to take a lot of time away from my family so if I need to run 20 miles at 5 am before the kids wake up on the weekend then that’s what I’ll do.
As you can see, click below, I have incorporated a lot of running in the program and that’s simply because I plan on running the NYC Marathon a month after the Poconos Half Ironman, now if I miss a 4 or 5 miler I’m not going to beat myself over it, what I can tell you is that I will work on making every long run, bike and swim since I know those are the ones that count most. Also I may swap out days or workouts depending on my daily or weekly planning.
I’ll also be doing a lot of training on the treadmill and stationary bike but like I mentioned above the long runs and rides need to be done outdoors and I will do my best to fit these in the early am hours on weekends. Luckily the sun will be coming up sooner and sooner so by the time summer comes around I won’t be running or riding in the dark.
Well there it is, oh and in case you are wondering bike and swim are minutes while running is miles.
Till next time, I run do you?
