IRONMAN 70.3 Poreč 2026
A 70.3 on the Istrian coast at Poreč: a swim in the Plava Laguna cove, a bike with 680 m of climbing and a single-loop coastal run finishing at the Zelena resort.
2 weeks to race day: the sharpening window
A full build no longer fits, but a sharp one does. This close in, the job is specificity and freshness: race-pace touches, open-water or brick rehearsal, and a taper your nervous system actually absorbs. No heroics; arrive fresh.
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.
Build my pacing and preparation plan.
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 organiser gives 680 m of climbing on the bike, so include rolling long rides. The run is a single coastal loop to Poreč and back toward Funtana, so plan fuelling around the one-loop layout.”
