Summary
Finish Your 1st IM 70.3 from Zero in 5 Months with your Spouse, and Stay Injury Free. Ever wondered if it’s really possible to train for a Half Ironman while parenting, working full-time, and starting from zero? Christine couldn’t swim 50 meters without shoulder pain.Dre, her husband also had no triathlon background and had to travel a lot for his job. Neither had finished a single triathlon before. Not even a sprint. But in just 5 months, they crossed the finish line of a 70.3 together. They did it with no injury, in-person coaching and many years of triathlon experience. This training is for everyday athletes, especially couples, parents, and late starters who want to do something big without sacrificing their health or family. If you're nervous about your first 70.3If you’ve been watching from the sidelines thinking, “Maybe one day…” Or If you're tired of training plans that don’t fit real life… You’ll learn:- How Christine & Dre made it work with two kids and full-time jobs- How they trained smart despite knee and ankle pain, tight shoulders, and zero swim experience- What helped them go from “I hope I survive” to “We actually did it!”- Why you don’t need perfect conditions, just the right structure
