New month, new Ironman challenge
For those who have been playing along since October, welcome back!
For new folks, wecome!
The challenge is to complete Ironman Triathlon mileage in the 29 days as follows:
--Running/ Walking 26.2 miles
--Biking 112 miles
--Swimming 2.4 Miles
We'll use this forum all month to log and report our mileage. You can log daily or weekly-- whatever keeps you motivated!
You may modify your mileage goals to suit your specific circumstances (e.g., no bike, no pool access, etc.) but you must SET and declare those goals at the beginning of the month, and it must still be a combination of running/walking, biking, and swimming.

Well, personally January was an epic fail for me challenge-wise, so I am re-adopting my January 2012 goals for the month of February as folllows:
* Running/ Walking 30 miles @ ~5 mph (+- 6 hours)
* Biking 84 miles @ 14 mph (+- 6 hours)
* Swimming 9 miles @ 1.5 mph (+- 4 hours)0 -
WOOHOO! Thanks rosebarnalice!
My goals are to do a little more in February than I did in January, which was:
JANUARYy:
Swim - 10.99 miles
Bike - 180.01 miles
Walk/Run - 30.23 miles -
So here's what I'm shooting for:
GOALS:
Swim: 15 miles
Bike: 200 miles (I might go completely insane doing that on the trainer)
Walk/Run: 32 miles
And, I started with a walk/run today, so here's my totals so far (HA!)
Swim: 0 miles
Bike: 0 miles (I might go complete insane doing that on the trainer)
Walk/Run: 1.84 miles
February is complicated by having a houseguest for a week and then a business trip. We'll see how it goes.
So, what are YOUR goals for February?
So, set some goals, whatever works for you, and get out and swim/bike/walk/run! :laugh: YOU can do it! Yes, you can. If I can do it, anyone can (I'm old, falling apart and fat!).0 -
I would like to try the Ironman challenge...sooo what you're doing is giving yourself a mileage

Goals!
Swim: 2.4 miles
Cycle: 60 Miles

All run will be running only, some cycling will be on exercise bike and will be valued at time spent on bike by 12mph (my avg pace).
And I will make it this month! Off in 20 to put my first mile on swimming!0 -
back in: revising goals after a poor Jan showing & some revised personal goals.
My Goals
20 mile swim
20 mile bike
60 mile jog/walk - hopefully more jogging, less walking
2-1: 1 mile stairmaster (+weights + raquetball)0 -
1/2 Swim: 1 mile
Swim: 1
Bike: 0
Run: 0
And away we go!

Ok so I'm finally in again! I had chest pain for three months, but my doctor put me on a med to block pain receptors and I'm finally back to working out! I didn't work out for three month which is very unusual for me!
So, in January this is what I did:
Run 31 miles
Bike 48 miles
Swim 9.4 miles
My February goals will be:
Swim 11 miles
Bike 100 miles
Run 50 miles
We'll see! I'm just glad to finally be back in the saddle! The medication I'm on causes weight gain, so I'll need some extra mileage!0 -
