Sebastian Kienle: how is he training?

Sebastian Kienle is a german triathlet. He won the Iron-man Kona race in 2014. Let’s focus on his training plan as we can see on the mobile app Companion provided by zwift.com. On Zwift, there’s nothing about swimming. Sebastian Kienle uses this app mainly for cycling. But hardly for running. And at the time of this article’s writing, Sebastian Kienle is level 40 on Zwift Cycling and Cat. A in Zwift Races. Here what we can see on the app:

With those datas given, we can draw some conclusions:

  • Sebastian Kienle is riding 10h per week on a Home Trainer, on Zwift;
  • Always around 6pm, as a 2nd day session; it seems to be burned calories sessions;
  • Just 1 day per week is only about cycling. With a 1st session in the morning, and a 2nd session in the afternoon;
  • It seems to be easy sessions, not very hard sessions (ie. Gimenez). But he works on endurance. No speed, but constancy.

Let’s see next weeks/months if Sebastian is changing something in this routine.
This will help us to know how to train to be ironman, too!
