How to Pace a 70.3 or Ironman Without Blowing Up

Some athletes race emotionally. Some athletes race

Some athletes race emotionally.
Some athletes race intelligently.

And at the Flying Pig Half Marathon, Robby showed exactly what smart racing looks like. 🔥

Running on a newly adjusted course with unfamiliar terrain and roughly 600 ft more elevation gain, Robby executed a disciplined, focused race from start to finish, crossing the line in 1:27:59.

✅ Sub-1:30 goal
✅ Sub-1:28 goal
✅ PR for this race

Despite the added hills and course changes, he finished just about 1 minute off his Monumental Half PR pace.

That doesn’t happen by accident.

Early in the race, Robby had technical issues with his heart rate monitor, which meant he had to shift gears mentally and rely on something even more important:

Awareness.
Effort.
Experience.

Instead of panicking, he stayed calm, focused, and took the race one mile at a time.

And THAT is racing maturity.

He didn’t chase people early.
He didn’t let adrenaline dictate the day.
He stayed patient and protected his effort knowing the hills were coming.

Then when the course got hard?
He got stronger.

The hills weren’t survival mode.
They were opportunities.

Because he and Coach Allison have trained for this over and over again.

The picture from this race says it all:
🎯 Laser focused.

Huge performance from Robby and Coach Allison!
Smart. Controlled. Tough.

The hardest part of the 70.3 run?

Holding back when you finally get off the bike.

But the athletes who run well late are usually the ones who stayed controlled early.

The goal of mile 1 isn’t to prove fitness.

It’s to create a run you can sustain all the way to the finish.

Save this for your next 70.3!

Most athletes don’t struggle on race day because they’re undertrained.

They struggle because they overcomplicate execution.

Simple plans win.
Controlled effort.
Consistent fueling.
Patience early.

That’s what shows up at the finish line.

What’s the ONE thing you tend to overthink on race day?

Drop it belown we’ll help you simplify it.

Some race weekends are about times.
Some are about courage.
And some are about both!

Huge congratulations to Organic Coaching athletes Chris & Jess on an incredible day at Western Sydney 70.3.

For Chris, this was his second ever 70.3 and he absolutely leveled up with a 45-minute PR. 🔥

But what made this result even more meaningful was how he raced it.

After the race, he told Coach Tyler:

“Coaching really helped. It kept me on track with pacing and helped me focus. I didn’t have anything left in the tank when I finished so I’m happy about that. I was also able to walk away without injury or rehab.”

… that last part matters.
Because success in endurance sport isn’t just about going faster. It’s about racing well, executing smart, and coming out stronger, not broken.

And then there’s Jess. 🥹

Western Australia 70.3 wasn’t just her first 70.3…

It was her first triathlon EVER.

Her goal?
Simply to cross the finish line and enjoy the day.

And she did exactly that!

She shared with Coach Carly afterward that she truly doesn’t think she could have done it without coaching, and moments like that are why we love what we do.

Watching athletes discover what they’re capable of never gets old.

A PR.
A first finish line.
A husband and wife chasing big goals together.

Pretty special weekend. 💙

Huge congrats, Chris & Jess. We’re so proud of both of you!

If training has felt off lately, you’re not alone.

If training has felt off lately, you’re not alone.

This is the part of the process where doubt creeps in, right when fitness is actually building the most.

The goal isn’t to feel amazing every day.

It’s to trust what you’ve built and show up ready to execute when it matters.

Save this for the days you start to question it.

If you’ve ever felt amazing early… and then comple

If you’ve ever felt amazing early…
and then completely fallen apart late, this is why.

Most races aren’t lost at the end.

They’re lost at the beginning.

Save this for race week.
Review it before your next start line.

Because the race doesn’t start when it feels easy…

It starts when it gets hard.
