Hello SA!
I have an entry....but still have several weeks more in which to injure myself.
I am still not sure if I'll be there - but will see how far I can get towards it and see...
I also had an entry last year but got hamstring tendonitis!!
I had an entry for IM Frankfurt a few years ago too but got knee trouble I think that time. Hopeless.
I have good endurance but no speed at all on the bike. I am your opposite.
EP - alarm at 4:30?
Ouch
SS yep normal average pace is 12.5 mph and my average for the whole 18 miles yesterday was 16.8 so very happy.
Difference is thought that at 12.5mph I in Z2 and yesterday I spend the entire time in Z5 so not sustainable for IM distance. Still a very much work in progress but it was nice to see that I was not the slowest at the bike bit. The run bit however I am still firmly last at!
Make up for the decrease in run training by ramping up the bike i did. This at the first Outlaw a couple of years ago as i was nursing injuries and had a blinder with a massive PB it is really all about being superstrong on the bike so you are not totally creamed for the run
Is HR a good measure? Most of my rides are done at a decent clip but HR barely gets into Z2 (134-148) if at all. Mostly bobbles around 125 so I wonder if this is a good indicator for me to gauge effort by.
Any tips on how to settle on race pace/effort?
not sure what zone i was thinking about on my long bike on saturday as I was riding with 2 others so doing their pace..........but the one nasty nasty hill had my heart rate over 185 which is a tad high for the bike
morning all
had a slow 2.2 mile run before my squash game last night to try and unwind my legs that were trying to give up on me.....
got to cycle to the bike shop today to try and get my front derailler thingy sorted...i think it probably just needs a screw moved a few mm
