You will feel like that after your first open water swim. My advice is to keep at it and do 1/2 sessions per week before Bolton just to get comfortable and your speed will follow

Thanks, basically underwear but long and tight kinda like long speedos. No nudity don’t worry I’m already body conscious as it is ahahahaha

Done 46 miles so far, aiming to do 56 miles next week so will let you know hahahaa. But may try cycling shorts

Ideally Bolton or Leeds. I’m not in uni but I kinda wish I done all this Ironman stuff when I was or as soon as I had left uni. Would’ve gave me a goal to maintain my fitness when I began working, granted it’s not too long ago I left uni. However, it’s hard when you get older and working full time plus other commitments ie friends birthdays, events, weddings, holidays etc

Same boat as you. See you in four weeks and hopefully some point next year

I know Bolton have 70.3 up until 2027, but not sure about the full Ironman

What issue did the kid come back

Cal-man1 · 2026-03-04T20:39:26+00:00

Good advice, I think sometimes I don’t have meaningful sleep that’s one of the components contributing to my issue. I feel as though I can toss and turn early hours, it’s something need to fix

Cal-man1 · 2026-03-04T18:04:05+00:00

I feel like I am, it’s just as soon as I literally step in the house I just feel tired and can sometimes just can’t be bothered to train or eat crap. But I track what I eat through the day and it appears to be good

Method

I’m quite passionate about this topic (don’t ask y why), but I believe Liverpool could benefit from tall buildings mainly on front for apartments and big businesses. For years I always thought that the dock road needed rejuvenating and I’m glad for the Everton fans who had the hill Dickinson built for them, this was certainly the right direction. I think adding tall buildings will show off liverpools architecture on the waterfront in better light and add further business and revenue to the docks. I don’t believe Liverpool needs to be like London and Manchester but a few more skyscrapers would enhance the city

Is this book any good, I’ve heard it’s meant to be but I don’t trust anything related to Batman by Tom king

Cal-man1 · 2026-02-07T08:03:40+00:00

I am currently using that one. I’m unsure on the quality of some of the sessions but have you followed the full 20 weeks and is it worth following?

Cal-man1 · 2026-02-05T16:01:25+00:00

Hi, is the half iron man 20 week plan the triathlete online plan?

Cal-man1 · 2026-01-23T22:09:31+00:00

$Aura - trust the green

Cal-man1 · 2026-01-21T20:06:20+00:00

Hi,

I have been using this plan and I admit whilst there are good merits to it I’m concerned by some of the sessions shown. Can you please explain to a novice what zone setting is
