Extreme Veteran  484   Glen Burnie, MD |  Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official ThreadHey all - Less than 4 months to go!! Anyone interested in getting some challenges going in this IM LOU thread? Something to push us towards our goals and encourage us to get out of bed for those early morning workouts, etc. Perhaps a 600 bike miles in the month of May challenge or we could do an x number of runs in May challenge... Anyone have any suggestions? Interested? ... and yes, I got this idea from other IM race group threads ... Edit: Or maybe we could just all post out planned volume based on our training schedules (so no one is encouraged to burn themselves out for a challenge) and then report progress on the 15th and then report in on June 1...

Sadly, the swim will be the tough one. |

Extreme Veteran 484 Glen Burnie, MD | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread Okay sweet - if you're in, post your planned volume (S,B,R) within the next few days and we'll all check in on May 15th then report back on June 1st. If it goes well, we can switch it up or do the same thing again for June. I know throwing my April goals in my dashboard helped me hit some of those goals (at least bike and swim) so hopefully you will be motivated by throwing out your target monthly totals here too  For me, May goals are: B - 600 miles (except faster than April's 600) R - 140 miles S - 15 miles I'm looking forward to another good month of biking and sticking to my run plan this month! |

Champion 5575 Butler | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread Plan call for: Swim - 11hr - 35000 yds Bike - 22.75hrs - 410 miles Run - 13.5hrs - 90 miles Distance for bike and Run are estimates based on 18mph on bike and 9 min/mile for run. That is assuming I miss no training sessions. |

Champion 5575 Butler | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread 3 (fairly easy) weeks down only 17 to go. This week was not great but I did not feel good so I ended up missing a swim workout (if I have to miss anything I would prefer it be a swim). Bike on Saturday was not great, I feel really far behind especially when I read logs of people doing centuries and riding 600+ miles a month already. I will max out close to 700 and that will be July. The fun starts now though. I need to juggle work (budget season starts soon), Family (baseball and a wife that hates my IM training in general and training. Feeling a bit overwelmed. |

Champion 5575 Butler | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread brown_dog_us - 2010-04-28 4:13 AM I was at the mall this weekend and saw that GNC is selling the new endurance formula. They had some big hoopla about it being "National signing day" where you signed up with win prizes, etc. under the presumption that "You would train like a pro".kproudfoot - 2010-04-27 9:54 PM I sent an email to try and find out what fluids will be available. I was told no decision has been made yet, just in case anyone was wondering. I looked at St. George and they are using plain jane gatorade on the bike and run. I would be excited if they do the same thing in louisville. Much cheaper and easier to get your hands on than Endurance or the new pro stuff. Thanks for the update. It's starting to warm up here and the workouts are getting long enough to start testing the nutrition. I think I'll try Gatorade on a few rides and see how it goes. Otherwise, I'll probably start training with a feed bottle. Not sure how much it is but I am really hoping that they choose Gatorade over Gatorade Endurance. |

Expert 617 | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread Alright. I'm in. This month is going to be a little weird because I've got a 4-day swim meet that I don't want to suck at so I know some stuff will have to be cut. Swim: 13 hr Bike: 28 hr Run: 22 hr |

Expert 1036 | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread OK, My planned schedule is: Swim 11:55 Bike 25:55 Run 12:20 On the 20 week intermediate plan. We will see what happens, I already missed one workout due to a funeral. So I will ask this, do I make it up or do I let it go as a necessary evil? |

Well, I have time right now for lot of bike miles. In a month or so I'll have more family stuff to do, and I doubt I'll have time for as much biking. I figure get the biking in now just, and hope I can maintain it when time gets tight. |

Expert 1164 Roswell, GA | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread So I was bad this weekend. I was supposed to do a few hours of riding, but needed a mental break from....well life. I went to Knoxville and partied with a college friend. Needless to say, no training happened at all, but I am back and ready to get to it! These little breaks that remind me that I am a normal human instead of an obsessed triathlete keep me going when training wears me down. |

Daaammmn Yup! I'm going with the theory that 100 miles on the bike has to be easy in order to have a good marathon time .. so I'm trying to do as many as possible without burning out or getting injured between now and KY... and it helps that my happy place is on a bike so I'll take any excuse to ride - esp long distances on a nice day  |

There's nothing wrong with taking a weekend off to enjoy other aspects of life besides s/b/r so I certainly wouldn't call yourself "bad"! It sounds like you needed the break and it did you well if you're feeling refreshed and ready to get back at it now - balance is good |

Master 1432 Woodstock | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread Hmm, May should be around S- 30,000 M B- 500 Miles R- 100 Miles I also agree on the bike fitness. If you can get off a 112 mile ride feeling good, then the run will be much more pleasant. I think the bike is the most important part of the training- the more the better Edited by cornelius300 2010-05-03 8:43 AM |

Expert 1164 Roswell, GA | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread Lets see. For May I want to... S: 30000 M B: 450 miles R: 90+ miles But lets see if coach wants me to do that..... And agree with cornelius300 on the biking, the more you do now, the happier you will be on race day. That, at least, is my mindset with training. Edited by 15step 2010-05-03 8:53 AM |

Member 77 Austin | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread Had my first BONK of the season. Saturday's 2:45 bike followed by a 30 minute run. I didn't take in enough fluids and calories on the ride (which started late afternoon after having only eaten a light lunch). I felt fine on the bike, actually rode well. Running started out fine. The first 8-10 minutes felt good. Then around 12-13 minutes I started desperately wishing it were time to turn around. Shortly after turning around to head back I had another small climb and descent. Once I hit the flats again I started feeling VERY empty, a little dizzy, and HR wouldn't come down. Stopped to walk a few minutes then tried running again and had the tell-tale HR spinning up quick and light head. Legs felt heavy and tired. My 30 minute run turned into a 20 minute run and a 25 minute SLOW, STUMBLY walk home. Nutrition lesson learned (again)! As for goals for May, I am on the Beginner 20 week plan so it looks like roughly: Bike 425 miles Run 90 miles Swim 6 1/4 miles |

Expert 1149 CenTex | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread May Goals S - 37500m B - 486 miles R - 103 miles We'll see how it goes. I may increase the bike a little at the expense of the run, depending on the knees and how they react throughout the month. Seems doable, though. |
