New user 10 Sycamore, IL | Subject: RE: It just hit me! IM moo I had the exact same feeling in 07 when I signed up for 08. The year flew by and I did not have a structured training plan in place. I have 4 very active kids (15, 13, 10 and 3 1/2). I did a lot of early am workouts and worked the other ones in when I could. I did end up missing a few workouts along the way when life interuppted, but don't worry about those. When race day came I was concerned that I was undertrained, but the day could not have gone any better. I tried really hard to concentrate on only the things I had control over and that's an important thing to remember, especially on race day. Remember it's supposed to be fun, make sure you make it fun! |

Regular 109 Florence, Arizona Silver member | Subject: RE: It just hit me! IM moo My hands were shaking when I registered for one online. I sat back...and thought oh crap what have I done now? The training was fantastic, yes, life got in the way somedays and so did a very crappy season weather-wise. Feared I was undertrained, but I could not have had a better day. The kink in my neck this week is more painful than the IM I just did. But yeah, keep the next few months fun & without too much structure coz by spring you will have to crack down & the mental pressure is just as hard as training some days. The 'must do must do' takes a wee bit of a toll somedays, kids, job, life, house chores, etc, even without the pressure of the training. But while you're waiting....train like you mean it. Get a solid base. No fluffing around now!!! Have fun! That quote....objects on the calendar are closer than they appear...couldn't be more true!!! |

Member 271 Ontario | Subject: RE: It just hit me! IM moo So am I the only one one here who has a structured training plan for im moo already? I've been on a train to train base build program since three weeks before I went down to volunteer. ( I am going from sprint to iron in one year though.) I'm pretty sure I get a day off for Christmas! Is anyone else on a structured plan for the whole year? It's gonna be a long year! |

Elite 3687 | Subject: RE: It just hit me! IM moo Yes it will be a long year. Maybe too long. Make sure you don't get yourself burned out. |

I'm pretty sure I get a day off for Christmas! Is anyone else on a structured plan for the whole year? It's gonna be a long year! I'm on a 20 week plan and will run it twice, per my friend/coach. I'm on week 2, but actually accomplished 1 week before the start of the plan. I need to discuss the detail with him more since it is a little generic right now. |

Member 271 Ontario | Subject: RE: It just hit me! IM moo Well, since I dont' know the first thing about training for an ironman, I hired a coach and this is what is on my plan. She's supposed to be the best coach around, but you're not the first to questions me training all year long. I think I'll keep on the plan but be careful to watch for signs of burn-out or over training. hmmm. K |

Elite 2468 Racine, WI | Subject: RE: It just hit me! IM moo My coach warned me not to be structured now...he said I'd burn out, just to do what I want, work on building my swim if I want to do that. That having been said tho, I've done a HIM the last four summers running and marathon every year for the past three. I have a solid base, and he knows that. I guess it depends a lot on how good your base is when you start, and how structured your training plan is. I know my coach is SUPER structured...x minutes at y heartrate, that sort of thing. He insinuated that the structure of it burns people out mentally. |
