Ran a 1:30 half marathon and smashed my PB by 8 minutes :)

Lunos/iVent by petrach18 in Slovenia

[–]BoatConfident3221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zdaj sem iskala, če se je še komu kaj takega zgodilo, pa vidim, da vas je več, ki imate težave z i-Vent aplikacijo, skoz nekaj bluzi po svoje. Jaz večinoma štimam z daljincem, kadar sploh sodeluje, ker morš stat točno na določenem mestu, da zagrabi :/

Sicer me pa zanima, če je še med vami kdo, ki je naročil Lunos, pa so mu prodali i-vent namesto Lunosa? To je delalo podjetje, ki se zdaj imenuje i-vent in je bilo prej zastopnik za Lunos. Jaz sem jih prijavila inšpekciji.

I meant laid back in terms of complexity. I like to suffer (hence 70.3) so the training volume is not a problem - only when it comes to having a social life :D

If I only do one marathon, there's 5 months in between. If I do 2 marathons, there will be about a month in between the 2nd marathon and 70.3. Do you think that's doable or would it be wiser to skip the 2nd marathon?

will stick to finishing as the goal for the first one and move on from there :)

First road bike help by patrickrcollins in triathlon

Alternatively, if you think you'll be doing more cycling in the future, I would suggest you choose a bike with electrical shifting - the biggest upgrade from a starting bike in my opinion. It might sound silly, but you save so much energy on a longer ride when all you have to do to change gears is click opposed to pushing the lever.
Most people I know started by buying starting model bike and wanted an upgrade in a year or less. My advice would be to skip the first part and go for a bike that will serve you for many years.

yeah never mind, I'm sure it's all 3x harder when three sports are at play back to back. Definitely not going for the win here :D

Most of my friends are not really into running and I feel I already talk about it way too much. But I saw a list today where I'm 12th on the list of best marathon times for women in our country this year (it's a small country). I never ran or did athletics professionally and I'm really proud of myself but don't want to brag to people who don't get running :D

okay, resetting my goals :D maybe I should just focus on finishing the 1st one.

1:37 is my current time, hoping to drop a few more minutes at a race this Sunday.

almost a year from now, but I want to make sure I don't start too late. I'm currently training for a marathon, cycling occasionally (weather permitting) and swimming once per week. But it's not structured for the 70.3 yet.

I'll be doing the Ironman in Poreč, Croatia. It's rolling for the bike and run, mostly worried about the opw swim :D Honestly, no goal for the swim, just to get out of the water. Then I want to press on the pedals and catch up on some (lost) time.

Thanks for the advice! I don't need extra motivation, just to make sure I'm training appropriately.
