Chris McCormack training plan for all Challenge Galway entrants

Course-specific sessions provided by the two-time IM world champ

The international online tri training brand MaccaX, headed up by two-time Ironman world champion Chris ‘Macca’ McCormack, will provide a 12-week training plan to all Challenge Galway entrants, with key sessions created by Macca and fellow pro Belinda Granger.

The training plan, which is available soon, is designed with the Galway event in mind, and includes course-specific sessions and workouts. The organisers say: “Our Challenge Galway plans will give you confidence in your fitness to not only make it to the finish line but get there knowing you have had your best race performance possible.”

Challenge Galway is Ireland’s first-ever full-distance Challenge Family triathlon, and will take place over the weekend of 24-26 June 2016.

“Galway is a perfect triathlon setting with a course that will appeal to everyone,” say the race organisers. “A fast swim course is followed by a hilly and demanding bike course, which is sure to test your fitness once you head out on the flat marathon run through the city of Galway and beyond.”
