August Ironman Challenge (open)
Replies
-
3 weeks of volume training left for me before taper time. So let see what totals I can knock out this month.
Have to say the start of August was slow as I missed a few days training, but it should pick up from here on. Got some big weeks planned, we will see if my body and mind holds out!
Totals so far:
Swim 800 meters
Bike 85 miles
Run 10.3 miles0 -
My goals:
--Swimming 2.4 Miles
--Biking 280 miles
--Walking/Running 120 miles
My doctor has cleared me to start running again next week after an injury and I can't really run yet. I will start the C25K with a goal of running a 5k by halloween. But I can walk like crazy.
Swimming on the other hand... lets just say I am a terrible swimmer. BUT, I am going to work at it until I become decent. My goal is to go from the fat smoker I was in April to complete the IRONMAN 70.3 in Racine, WI next July. Today is 99 days smoke free and almost 50 lbs lost.0 -

Starting off a little late this month.
Last month was my best so far. Smashed my main targets of 85 miles running and 140 miles on the bike. I got to swim but wasnt a priority to make the 3 mile target.
This past week and rest of this sees me taper for my 10K race on Sunday (Barnsley Cannon Hall Run). So I am setting my targets to default as i have no idea of what ill be doing in total this month.

Add another 5.4 miles jogging/walking and 20 miles biking today. I set new standards for myself today jogging almost non-stop for 5 miles. It was a pretty slow pace but I maintained it and after a short warm up walk did 5 miles in an hour. I am very please as 4 months ago I was obese and smoking and couldn't have jogged 100 yards at any pace.
Then I hit the bike and did 20 miles at 18 mph avg. which is a personal best. I don't think I could have done that when I was young and fit.
A pretty good day for me. Can't wait to do it again tomorrow.

It's been ridiculously hot and I've been feeling exhausted so took a down week. I'll definitely be short of my goals but hope for a good rest of the month.
