In partnership with REFUEL | got chocolate milk?, Ward will undertake a training and recovery regimen with elite professional coaches and sports dietitians that will prepare him for the grueling race. His transformation from a grid iron athlete to IRONMAN triathlete will be captured in the new online documentary series “BECOME ONE.”
Cameras will follow Ward and his fellow IRONMAN triathlon apprentices for seven months as they prepare for the biggest athletic challenges of their lives: a back-to-back 2.4-mile open water swim, 112-mile bike race, and full 26.2-mile marathon.
The reality-style webisodes will document the highs and lows of their grueling training, spotlight the importance of their after-exercise routines and the role that lowfat chocolate milk plays in helping their bodies recover after hard workouts.
