Thank you !! Gosh what an eye opener it is going from small local events to an Ironman. I really appreciated your video with Gerard to get me as prepared as I could be leading into race week. All made perfect sense and I was comfortable with all the sessions. ... I agreed with Gerard's observations about my race plan and wrote my ranges on my arm for the bike and set alarms in my Garmin for my run and hyrdration prompts. ...
Today first day back, ran on the treadmill today. PB for 10k hitting just under 57mins ... I am so eager to improve. I have the determination and willing to work on my weaknesses. ... Happy to hear about the continued options 😊 I'm not finished just yet! I love the structure of this program. I maintained my gym sessions throughout. Different type of lifting to my usual to compliment Gerard's program.
Lighter weights, more reps. I never felt like my weight sessions hindered the daily requirements of swim/bike/run.
Before race day the furthered I had ever ridden was 60kms and furthered run was 21km. So a PB ride
