Expert  1145    Ann Arbor, MI |  Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official ThreadHey all, I just wanted to share some good news. Yesterday, I ran my first stand alone half marathon with the goal of trying to go sub-1:30, and I ended up with a 1:25. I've battled ITBS basically since I started tri's a year and a half ago, and I finally kicked it this winter by going to a PT and following a regular stretch/strength routine. Before getting into tri's, I was a no athletics, sedentary 185lbs and now I'm down to around 138lbs and absolutely loving my new life with endurance sports. Ok, thanks for listening, now I'm off for a long ride + transition run with hopefully a swim this evening. Cheers! |

Master 1471 Dunedin | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread I need to figure out nutrition for training and racing and I found this article on Cytomax vs Gatorade:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1976551/ It's a couple years old, so I'm going to keep looking for research. |

There is an EXCELLENT article in this months Triathlete Magazine by Matt Fitzgerald discussing nutrition and hydartion and how usually the simple products like sport drink and gels and water have all we need and how to use them according to feel as opposed to some complicated schedule. Words to live by, I know I do. |

Don't over think things. Use what's on the course. Just my opinion WittyCityGirl - 2010-04-11 11:35 AM I need to figure out nutrition for training and racing and I found this article on Cytomax vs Gatorade:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1976551/ It's a couple years old, so I'm going to keep looking for research.

Words to live by, I know I do. I second (or third) that. I used GE and gels only so I can rely on the course in most races. GE can take some getting used to so I started early on it last year as my primary fuel source (in April I think). It works very well for me but nutrition is very personal so you have to experiment. |

| Pro 4608 Brooklyn, NY | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread I put 78 miles on the new bike today and loved it! Road bikes are so much more fun and comfortable. I think my tri bike is going to develop a jealousy complex. I'm sort of on track for the challenge now too, I'm just a few miles short of where I should be as of today! |

| Champion 9600 Fountain Hills, AZ | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread Where people go wrong is assuming their nutrition plan needs to be very complicated and involved with lot's of moving parts and schedules. Turns out, that' really not the case not is it how our bodies work. |

| Veteran 233 Madison, New Jersey | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread So I have to post this b/c I am just so pumped about today! Today was my first race of the season and I started with a small 5k, 400 participants. I went into the race after just riding 4 hours on Saturday and doing a brick, so I wasn't really sure how my legs would respond. Well, some how I finished 2nd overall! I finished with a time of 19:04, but the race didn't have a starting mat to record the actual starting time. Either way I will take it, I shaved off 1:24 from my last 5k time! I just had to share the good news and who better then a bunch of race junkies. Hope everyone had a good weekend of training. Albert |

Words to live by, I know I do.My nutrition started out so complicated with my first Half Ironman almost two years ago. Five half Ironman's later, I am back to keeping it simple. It's either water with a gel OR gatorade. I alternate them each hour and it has made all the difference. Actually I do add some carbo-pro to my water, but carbo-pro is just pure carbs ZERO electrolytes of any kind. But bottom line is I used to mess with salt pills, and bunch of other 'endurance fuel products' and it always lead to extreme nauseau. In this months Triathlete Magazine is also an excellent article on Page 145, titled the Ironman Taper. According to the author, the 3-week taper is actually adopted from marathoner's in the 70's who over-trained, and it takes 3-weeks to overcome over-training, and thus the 3-week taper. When in actuality, we do not need that long a taper; most of us amateurs will never touch the realm of 'over-trained' and a two-week or 7-10 Taper will yield us better results. Good article. I'm gonna save it. |
