M2 REVOLUTION

M2 Group Ironman / Half Ironman 2010 Training Program

Mentor & Training Philosophy

Are you looking to challenge yourself at the Ironman distance in 2010, and are:

• perhaps intimidated by the volume of training you might feel is required?
• an experienced endurance athlete but looking for a distinct approach with a proven track record?
• looking for a more hands-on program with regular weekly access to your coach and cycling classes?

Michael McCormack (M2) is a two-time professional Ironman Champion and has been coaching athletes since 1994. Known for his innovative training methodologies, Michael was the first to bring indoor power-based indoor cycling training to San Francisco, with the opening of his cycling studio, M2 Revolution, in December of 2006.

M2 has coached hundreds of athletes whose abilities include professional Ironman champions, competitive age-groupers, and athletes simply looking to cover the distance on their own terms.

Bay Area triathletes benefit by having flexible access to a premier training center and instruction by M2.

Variety and measured intensity are hallmark M2 training concepts, where smart training allows athletes to tackle the longer distances with digestible training hours.

M2 experience in observing a significant portion of the tri-community’ preparation for IM events is that fear of the distance leads to training overkill where:

• Athletes get slower each week and more tired.
• Training becomes drudgery,"how many more long rides/runs to go??"
• Race day is more a “let’s get this over with” as opposed to a "yeah baby, I’m ready to rock!"
