When you think of healthy fats, you can think of peanuts, peanut butter, and peanut oil. That is because at least half of the fat in peanuts is heart-healthy monounsaturated fat, the kind found in olive oil and avocados. And over 30% is polyunsaturated fat; another good fat important in a healthy diet.
At half the distances of a full Ironman -- a 1.2-mile (1.9-kilometer) swim, 56-mile (90-kilometer) bike ride and a 13.1-mile (21-kilometer) run -- the Ironman 70.3 series is the fastest growing triathlon series in the world.
According to the Ironman World Championship website, athletes train for 18 to 30 hours per week for about seven months to compete in the annual event, which is held in Hawaii. Athletes swim an average of about 7 miles, bike 232 and run 48 miles per week for the biggest event on the Ironman triathlon calendar.
