It really does look like he's done

[LeoKnight]

Maybe he is still planning to rock up there and bring some good news when he rolls over the line in the end

PrinceVlad clarification on what is happening with your entry please.

[Sitting@89]

PrinceVlad disappeared into hub darkness?

PrinceVlad - HANG IN THERE !!!!

 

Consistancy is the name of the game.

 

 

I peaked at 108kg, now back to 84kg.  It CAN be done !!!

 

 

Your ENEMIES :

- the scale

- unrealistic goals

- the scale

- measuring yourself against pro-athletes

- did I mention the scale ?

 

 

Consider the following :

- Dietician (your medical aid should cover this, even it not it is not expensive)

- life style change as per your dietician  

- MODERATE, but consistant, exercise ...

- pack away that scale - nothing as demotivating as seeing you picked up a bit ....  with a consistant life style change the waist line will follow in due course ....

 

 

wishing you well on this ultra marathon

GOOD LUCK Prince Vlad and all other competitors

If he was doing it I'm sure he would have reported here, at this point we can safely say it has been long aborted

Tend to agree with you, but would it not be so amazing if he post a photo of him at the end with his medal and a big smile

Lesson learned don't make ridiculously bold comments on here!

Double post sorry, but point worth making twice!

Agreed, would be so fitting considering all the "tuning" he received lol

If he did not make it to the start or end it's no disgrace either.

Would be nice to know what happened either way

Was always going to be a huge task to go from couch to this event in so short a time. That kind of fitness takes a long time to build properly - sure it can be done if you have the genes but for most people it's a year project I reckon.

Maybe I should follow my own advice about making bold statements on the hub, but I politely wish to disagree with you I think the time frame allows for even a fairly average joe to build the required fitness.

 

It would required a well structured program and anout 6-8 hours a week. Reason I am saying this is that I took a break from training last year after TD. I did absolutely nothing until 2 weeks before 947.

 

I started training again in earnest early December, and I am quite sure I could complete C2T at the moment, not saying I would set any records but I would certainly finish.

 

I am also pretty sure when it comes to V02max I am a geneticlly very medicore. The only stumble block Vlad here had was what trips most in the quest to supreme fitness, and that is commitment over time
