Join the 700 Mile club or Ultimate 822.7 Mile club 2007 (Page 3)

I'd be in if it was time based instead of distance since A) I'm slow and B) I do a lot of trainer rides and C) I don't always bother to keep track of exactly how many laps I've done (I keep a rough estimate)

So, if you can figure out some time goals that would be cool.

Jorge,

Just curious on what you based these distances:

Ultimate 822.7 Mile Club:
· Elite – 700 Mi bike, 100 Mi run, 22.7 Mi swim (40,000 yds)
· Master – 500 Mi bike, 75 Mi run. 17 Mi swim (30, 000 yds)
· Expert – 400 Mi bike, 50 Mi run, 11.3 Mi swim (20,000 yds)

It doesn't seem to be x times any of the tri distances.

>>> I just did what any highly educated & experienced endurance coach and a man of science would do: First I spend some time calculating the ideal workload necessary to develop the optimal training adaptations in order to increase an athlete’s fitness level. I compared my results versus the last scientific findings in the sports physiology field and validate my numbers. Then based on a 30 day cycle I calculated the ideal volume required to optimize training performance without inducing unnecessary fatigue and tested from beginners to seasoned athletes to prove that my calculations were correct. Last but not least, I applied complicated algorithm models in order to come up with the ultimate training swim to bike to run ratio!
