IRONMAN 70.3 Florida 2026
A 70.3 at Haines City in central Florida: a swim in Lake Eva, a bike on rural Polk County roads and a two-loop run around the lake on paved trails and roads.
10 weeks to race day: a full block fits
This is the sweet spot. A complete 12-week recovery-led build fits inside the runway with room for a base phase in front. Anchor the block to race day and every week between now and then has a reason.
Building for this one? 70.3 training plan covers the sessions, the weekly shape and how the block is paced. The R.A.C.E. Framework explains why it is built that way.

Commit to the date and the work gets a shape: your countdown starts, the emails arrive in step with your build, and the app anchors a recovery-led block so the final week lands exactly on race day.
One confirmation email, then the road begins. Registering for the race itself stays with the organiser.
“The bike uses rural roads through eastern Polk County and the run is two loops around Lake Eva on paved trails and roads, so a steady, lap-by-lap plan suits this course.”
