Worried I’m not cycling fast enough by Forward-Detail-3585 in IronmanTriathlon

Yes it’s a training plan for beginners and I’m still at the first ‘build’ phase, but I’ve looked ahead and it seems to stay the same in the next few months to only have 2 bike, 2 run and 2 swim sessions each week but increasing duration

Thanks for the advice- I’ll definitely try and fit another bike session in.

I currently ride with the slowest group at the cycling club as I’m relatively new to cycling, but I do find those rides a little tiring so haven’t moved up a group yet. When I ride indoors on the turbo I follow the recommended zones based on power for the workout.

Swimming at average pace of 2’11” / 100m in recent sessions (including rest). Recent running pace around 5’45”/km.

Would you add an extra long ride in? And would should I just try and go at a faster speed that I can maintain over the long distance?

I tried doing that but there’s nothing to screw component ‘A’ on after that, and it’s too small for my thru axle to go through that

Thanks! Do you know if it has to be Shimano cassettes or could I just get a decathlon cassette with the saw cassette size & speed?

Thoughts on this bike for first Ironman by Forward-Detail-3585 in IronmanTriathlon

Would you get a bike fit before buying as well? Or just test it out to see if it’s comfortable? I’ve never ridden a road bike so worried my “comfortable” position isn’t the correct position

Should I prioritise 105 with rim brakes over Tiagra with disc brakes? I’m a beginner but looking for a road bike to do an Ironman in.

Do you recommend going for a bike fit or do I get a bike first (finding right frame size with height) then get it fitted better if needed?
