| - | * 2006-05-07 What running shoes to buy? ...
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Anyway, I went to a running store that video tapes you
| + | |
| - | on a treadmill in barefeet, and then plays it back in
| + | |
| - | slow motion, analyzes it, and then helps get the right
| + | |
| - | shoe for you. So, I wouldn't blindly just buy Brooks
| + | |
| - | or anyother brand, but try to get some professional
| + | |
| - | help. Once I found the right shoe, I keep buying the
| + | |
| - | same the shoe over the internet at a lot cheaper cost.

| - | * 2006-05-02 Headphones are Evil ...
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Training Tip of the Day: Headphones are evil beyond
| + | |
| - | just the safety issue, as they distract you from
| + | |
| - | monitoring your heart rate, nutrition, and pace, which
| + | |
| - | as you get tired, become more and more difficult to
| + | |
| - | focus on. I would just use them on your light days of
| + | |
| - | training.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | * 2005-12-07 For Starters...
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Sweet! The only qualification for Ironman NZ is that
| + | |
| - | you have to be stupid enough to pay $485 NZD to abuse
| + | |
| - | yourself for 12 hours! For diet during training I try
| + | |
| - | to go to a higher protein diet to help my muscles
| + | |
| - | repair themselves from training. I won't bother with
| + | |
| - | weight lifting, spend that time, biking, swimming, and
| + | |
| - | running. If you do weight lift, do high reps, you
| + | |
| - | don't want bulky muscles that you will have to drag
| + | |
| - | around the course. For training, gradually increase
| + | |
| - | miles and workout lengths, and try to do "brick"
| + | |
| - | workouts where you put two or more of the event
| + | |
| - | workouts together (swim, bike, and/or run). For
| + | |
| - | instance, you go for an hour swim, and then
| + | |
| - | immediately go bike for 2 hours. Start planning out
| + | |
| - | your events leading up to the Ironman, finding smaller
| + | |
| - | runs, swims, and tris, and then doing longer ones. I
| + | |
| - | would do atleast two half ironmans before going for
| + | |
| - | the full, have run at least two marathons, and have
| + | |
| - | done at least one 200 mile bike ride, and a fair of
| + | |
| - | amount of two mile swims under your belt. The last
| + | |
| - | two weeks before you should only do a few light
| + | |
| - | workouts. That is it in a nutshell. I think you can
| + | |
| - | do it with only working out 3 to 4 times a week. Oh
| + | |
| - | yah, buy a carbon fiber or maybe titanium bike as they
| + | |
| - | absorb the road impacts so you don't feel like crap
| + | |
| - | after riding 112 miles, with Shimano ultregra or
| + | |
| - | higher (dura ace) components.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | YOU CAN DO IT!
| + | |

| - | | + | |
| - | * 2006-01-16 Now that you're exercising a lot...
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | For warmth on the bike, you can by arm and leg warmers
| + | |
| - | that just cover what your bike jersey and bike shorts
| + | |
| - | don't cover. I use those sometimes, and they are
| + | |
| - | small enough you can take them off and stuff them in
| + | |
| - | the back pockets of your bike jersey. I also have a
| + | |
| - | flourescent yellow biking gortex rain coat that
| + | |
| - | bunches up pretty small. But generally, I don't go on
| + | |
| - | long rides during the Winter, so I haven't had to
| + | |
| - | worry too much about the cold.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Learning how to fuel yourself over extended exercises
| + | |
| - | is probably the most important thing to learn. Before
| + | |
| - | now, you haven't had to worry to much about it. Just
| + | |
| - | water can get you through most three hour excercises
| + | |
| - | without bonkin'. But when you start getting over
| + | |
| - | that, your body can start to be become out of balance
| + | |
| - | if you haven't been carefully fueling it. During the
| + | |
| - | day of the Ironman, you will probably burn around
| + | |
| - | 13,000 calories, six or some times your normal daily
| + | |
| - | intake. You won't be able to take in that many
| + | |
| - | calories, but you need to learn what calories and
| + | |
| - | other stuff you can take in to keep your body going.
| + | |
| - | You really won't feel like and your digest system does
| + | |
| - | not work well, so it is a chore you have to remind and
| + | |
| - | push yourself to do. The electrolyte pills are, in my
| + | |
| - | mind, one essential ingredient. You are sweating out
| + | |
| - | all of your electrolytes, so you need to be replacing
| + | |
| - | them. I take 1 to 3 Hammer Electrolyte tablets per
| + | |
| - | hour. 3 if it is hot and I am sweating a lot, one if
| + | |
| - | it overcast and cool. Also, at events, they always
| + | |
| - | offer water, and then they offer some sports drink.
| + | |
| - | Well, you can't control the sports drink (i.e. what
| + | |
| - | one they will chose to have), and it may make you
| + | |
| - | sick, make you not perform well, you won't know how
| + | |
| - | much to take, etc. So, I don't like to use the sports
| + | |
| - | drink provided. I use the water that is always there
| + | |
| - | and the electrolyte tables, plus I use my own sports
| + | |
| - | power mix drink that I know well. You can mix this as
| + | |
| - | a powder into your water bottles when you get new
| + | |
| - | water, plus you can have your bike pre-loaded with it
| + | |
| - | in the morning. I haven't got too much into the
| + | |
| - | sports drinks, I do use them, but not too much - other
| + | |
| - | people use them more. But the important part is to
| + | |
| - | find what food you crave and can handle in your body
| + | |
| - | when you are pushing your body.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | I try to get my breakfeast of a high carb variety as
| + | |
| - | close to the start as possible, not when I wake up, so
| + | |
| - | I will have it in me to fuel me during the race. I
| + | |
| - | prefer brown sugar cream of wheat. I found I can eat
| + | |
| - | a lot of it and go run hard and it doesn't make me
| + | |
| - | sick. I have coffee before the start, as it is the
| + | |
| - | best legal performance enhancer, and you just piss it
| + | |
| - | out in your wetsuit. The bike is where you really
| + | |
| - | have to force the food in. You won't feel like, but
| + | |
| - | you have to eat a lot on the bike. Granola bars,
| + | |
| - | bannanas, GU, and peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches
| + | |
| - | for me. I then have cold fruit waiting for me at the
| + | |
| - | end of the bike in a cooler along with a peanut and
| + | |
| - | butter sandwhich.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Anyway, it is important to figure out what food you
| + | |
| - | crave, can handle, how much and how often you should
| + | |
| - | eat them (setting a timer to beeb every 45 minutes to
| + | |
| - | remind you to eat something is what somepeople do).
| + | |
| - | Preopen all of your granola bars so you aren't messing
| + | |
| - | around with that while biking or running. I pour
| + | |
| - | (squeeze) about five GUs and one part hot water into a
| + | |
| - | squeeze bottle that mounts to the top tube of my bike.
| + | |
| - | That way I don't have to try open the packs while
| + | |
| - | riding and I can sip the GU, don't have to have an
| + | |
| - | entire packet at once, plus the GU is diluted so it is
| + | |
| - | easier to get down.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | I hate Cliff Bars. I like MOJO bars and I like the
| + | |
| - | green nature valley hard granola bars. I like GUs'
| + | |
| - | bannanna and vanilla flavors.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | I take IB profeen on the run, sometimes dropping up to
| + | |
| - | 800 mg, depending on how I am feeling.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Well, that is enough for now.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | And holy shit, we are wimps compared to that woman.
| + | |
| - | My jaw just dropped reading those distances.
