Subject: RE: I can't run slow matcrawf - 2012-03-27 7:11 PM You're going fast, but if you really do 2x/day for 20 weeks you will probably be fine. I did it in 24 (w/ wedding and honeymoon in weeks 18-21) last year, and if you dig around the older posts there are lots of people who ask if they can do it and are met with a similar response. If you feel you can do it, you're already on your way. Follow the training and IMO you will hit your goal. I don't like running slow in training and it hurt me this year. Maybe I'll do better in my training next time.Good luck! Thanks bud. I have been enjoying training so far. After looking at the last week of the training program - I realized I was going to finish the 20 weeks to soon....so I started over. I am wrapping up week 20 - will do week 19 twice and week 18 twice. Then will finish the rest of the training right on time for my first Ironman. The result is that I am easing into the 2 workouts per day more - and I end up with 26 weeks of prep. Like I said - I do have the time as I work from home - so I set my own schedule. Some days I feel like running in the morning, so I get up early and run, other days I feel like running around 4:00 p.m. so I stop working - go for a run. Then I make dinner and after dinner I go for my swim (or bike depending on the day). The flexibility is great. |
