Chris_ Posted January 7, 2019 Share How about run/walk strategy? Say only 15 or 20 mins at a time. Or is the injury too bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@ndy Posted January 15, 2019 Share Now the announcement has been made for Biogen as the new Ironman nutrition partner, I'm going to switch over to them from High 5 but I'm not 100% sure which to go for. I presume the one to use is the Cytomax Race mix. Any one familiar with the brand? Popular flavours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the moonboot at the momentfixed Good to hear. Keep at it. Slow increments. If you can run 21km with 40 days to go you should be able to build enough steam to get home!

We've all been there. Just make sure your supporters crew is well fed, sun-screened, and packs warm clothes for sun-down.

It is very possible. If you can do a 70 minute swim and a sub 6 cycle you will have 10 hours to crawl home! ScottCM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing worse than when the IronFan lands up with sunstroke and an IronTan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyration Drinks: CarbogenGels: Real Fruit and Coffee BeansBars: Oats BarsThanks Shaper, So they are only giving out the Low GI version.
