Doing a 6 person relay next weekend from Asheville NC to Greeneville SC and at the end it’s all you can drink. My runs are a 4 and 10 mile run. Should be a nice tuneup for May.
Thank you and I thought that’s what you were going to tell me. My rest day is Monday so I swim then which is funny since you do that as well. Good thing about training in Chattanooga is I am already used to the hills as my last ride was 35 miles and total ascent was over 1,800 ft.
Starting next week I am going to do an hour spin class Tuesday and Thursday at 5 am and after those classes do a 4 mile run and then in those afternoons I am meeting someone whose done Kona( and doing this one) and we will ride those afternoons as well.
Looking forward to hopefully meeting you in May.
Since you have done a few Ironman 70.3’s I figured I would ask you about training. I’m swimming 2 times a week, biking 3 times a week and running 3 times a week. On saturdays I will do something like bike 20 miles and run 6. How much more should I be doing for race in May? My longest bike ride has been 43 miles and felt great. I know I am ignorant on this since I haven’t done one and probably overly confident in some ways.
My background is that I am a 41 year old college soccer player and have ran probably 15 half marathons and usually them around a time of 1:32.
I get it and it’s a valid criticism. I’m just not ready to fire his ass yet. Don’t get me wrong.... there are some angry Tennessee fans and have been for 3 years but I feel like he has brought us to a good level. Can he get us to the next level.... probably 50/50 but he will leave the job in better shape when he leaves.
Yeah, I gave him shit his second and third year here. He completely changed style of play in the middle of the season and we had a nice run late in the year. If they were playing uninspired tonight I would be furious but I just can’t do it.
I remember where we were before him. Last years early exit was garbage but I can’t really blame shit on him for this one. Sometimes the shots don’t go in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I don’t get caught up in seeding even though I think it’s horseshit that we beat Kentucky twice and beat Auburn this season plus beating Arizona. Just win
Once we started playing our small lineup we got a lot better. I give credit to Barnes in that midway through season we completely changed style and it worked. Funny enough things improved after Texas game.
Thanks. I spent 45 minutes in the pool this afternoon and it went a little better. I am trying to swim like I run so I am working on trying to remain calm.
I got in the pool for the first time today and lol I fucking suck. I could only go down 1 time without getting tired. Learning how to breath has been humbling. I did a nice 1.5 hours on the bike before.
Thanks man. Any advice you can give a first timer? I run a lot of half marathons and usually finish around 1:30 but I am really excited to be doing something different. I am 41 so almost an old guy.
I live in Chattanooga so you and I will be doing Chattanooga together. Let me know where you are staying as we get closer to the race. This morning I got on the bike for 1.5 hours and then did a 4 mile run holding a 6:40 pace fairly easy. I know everything will be different on race day but for now I am enjoying it. I haven't even began to practice swimming but I need to.
