I am currently training for my first Ironman 70.3 (1.9km swim / 90km bike / 21km run)
The last two months of training (Jan & Feb) have been focused only on getting swim, bike and run fit.
How best can I start incorporating KB training into my weekly routine, without it negatively impacting my current routine? I have 3 months until race day.
I have previously done a fair amount of work with Kettlebells:
Simple & Sinister (Up to 24kg single hand swing and get-ups) / 32kg double hand swings / 32kg single hand clean x 1rm / 32kg goblet squat x 5 / 4 week 500 KB swing challenge @ 24kg - but it has been a few months since I last did any serious strength training.
This is what a week generally looks like at the moment:
I am playing with idea of starting with Simple & Sinister 2 x a week, and seeing from there.
All input and advice is welcome!!

This is what a week generally looks like at the moment:
Day | Date | Training AM | Training PM |
Monday | Rest | Slow Run or Slow Swim | |
Tuesday | 75-80% HR ride for 80 min | Swim training | |
Wednesday | 60min steady run | Swim training | |
Thursday | 75-80% HR ride for 80 min | Swim training | |
Friday | 45 min steady run | ||
Saturday | 2:45 hour steady bike ride | Easy swim 30 min | |
Sunday | 1 hour slow and easy run |
