Journey to Outlaw 240 days to go
Earlier this year, after the Black Sheep Tri, I expressed an intrest in the Outlaw Triathlon (ironman distance). This soon became an obsession. In September my wonderfull husband entered me for said event. I still had some of this years challenges to complete at this point, but now they are done, boxed off and compartmentalised in my mind. As I am always looking ahead and moving forwards I am now concentrating on Outlaw. S whats the plan? How can I Build up my training in the next 240 days from swimmimg 2km to swimming 2.4 miles, 42 miles cycling to 112 miles and still have the energy to run a marathon afterwards? Theres a lot of work to do.I will be using this site to help http://www.trifuel.com/triathlon/ironman-workouts/ and doing a bit of it my way I have started even though I am carrying an injury from Sunday's marathon.
This is week I so far
Mon Swim 1 mile Turbo 4 miles
Tues run 9 miles
Wed cycle 11 miles
Thur run 8 miles
Fri Swim training 2000 yd
On Wednesday I had a sports massage which really sorted my calf. Its still a little tender but much improved. So thats my first 5 days of training sorted. I know that my biggest challenge will be the cycling.
Please feel free to give me tips. I would really appreciate any help.
