How much time do I need to train for my first Ironman?

Fausto M asked:

How much time do I need to train for my first Ironman? I run a lot (3 marathons to the day and training for my 4th in octuber, a lot of shorter distance races, my time in my last marathon was 3h20′) swim some and zero biking.
I am planning to run the New Zealand Ironman next march, am I late?
Can anyone share with me any useful link?
Thanks

    I don’t think you’re too late, especially since you are already a seasoned runner. From the beginning of September you have 28 weeks to prepare for your trialthlon. As long as you stick to a plan, you should be more than ok! Here is an article I found about iron man training…Good luck.
