6 hours a week for a marathon. 14 hours for an Ironman. Big difference.

Ever wonder why an Ironman feels like a different universe compared to a marathon?

Jeff breaks it down simply:
A marathon demands 6–8 hours of weekly training.
An Ironman? Try 12–14 hours — plus swimming, cycling, AND running.

The secret isn’t just grinding harder.
It’s cross-training, protecting your joints, and building endurance through smarter, more intentional training. Running alone would break your body. Mixing disciplines helps you build capacity without burning out.

This clip is a perfect reminder:
Leveling up your fitness after 50 isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing it right.
