Ironman Canada Goals

Here are my goals for Ironman Canada. I'm putting them on the blog so that everyday I'll be reminded of what I'm working toward.

Swim-1:00:00 T1-:4:00 Bike-5:30:00 T2-:4:00 Run-3:30:00

Total - 10:08:00


How to achieve world class fitness!!

Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.

I was planning to run/swim today but my flying job took up most of the day. I did manage to find enough time for a 45 minute run. I started the run planning to just run but after about 10 minutes I decided to work in 4 x 5 minute intervals with 3 minute running recoveries. I did the intervals and felt very good. I probably could have just ran the entire run at interval pace. I ended up doing 6.27 miles in 44:57. That my friends is a 7:10 per mile pace. I'm feeling very good about my planned 8:00 minute pace for the marathon. The taper continues......

Have a great day!
