Snytjie Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 A number of my age group guys are doing around the following ( depending on specific strengths weaknesses) Swim 12 000m/weekBike 11 hoursRun 75km Puts on helmet and ducks for cover Dear Sir, Please piss off. Regards, Snytjie. I so wish I could do this too!
Snytjie Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 What a weekend! Ran 28k on Friday in midday heat, then swam 3k at Fish Hoek on Saturday without a suit, followed by 180k bike yesterday. Quite ridiculous for me. Only, after that bike I didn't really feel like running anywhere... In fact, I would not even have run into the arms of Robin Wright if she stood naked at my front door. That, I fear, is a problem.
Snytjie Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 I was having the same issue, but I was recommended an immune booster. I use immunova from biobalance, and has so far worked brilliantly. No only do I avoid sickness from training, but my normal winter cold/flu is gone too. Started using this after DragoRosso's advice, and it seems to work really well. I only use 1/3 of the recommended dose, and so far no recurring airway infections or any other illness. After a long swim on Saturday my throat was very raw and I actually felt a little sick through the entire Sunday bike, but up to now no inflammation which certainly would have been the case 8 weeks ago.

Craai Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Swam 6km over the weekend (3.5km Friday/2.5km Sunday split) half-marathon run on Saturday and 75km cycle on Sunday. Felt quite good this morning, but nerves starting to eat at me as well.7 weeks to go, must train harder!

Ferret69 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I used a Great Kindle Download book to Train solo for Both my Ironmen Races I did in 2012/2013 Be Iron Fit, 2nd, Time Efficient Training Secrets for Ultimate Fitness - Don Fink, - think its a few Dollars.. If you not sure what the plan should be maybe download it and follow the last 16 weeks in (whole programme was 30 weeks with the 70.3 distance race on week 22) It has a Just to Finish , Intermediate and Advanced Programme with all your swimming Sets and Drills for each level. I followed the Intermediate in 2012 to finish in a 12.50 (very windy year) and then the Advanced in 2013 to finish 10.36. I thought it was superb and got me 100% ready both times.

PrinceVlad Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Hi Guys Just want to find out. I started training about a year ago, not Ironman specific training, but running and biking. I then started training for triathlons in about June last year. I did the 5150 Bela Bela, TriRock Durban and Eleven Global Sun City. I also did the 70.3 in January but didn't finish due to cramping. Apart from not training the last week due to a cold, I have trained consistently 8 - 10 hours per week from the beginning of the year. If I can get an opportunity to participate in the full Ironman event, taking into account that there are only 6 weeks left until the event. Thanks

ThanksAnything is possible, just need to put your mind to it. So I guess the question is, do you really want to do it now, because you can't go into IM (or any ultra event) half assed. You either commit 120% or not at all.
