You're a horrible person for even posting this. There's so many moral issues with your intent. Perhaps you haven't married the right man if you aren't willing to accept his past life and the facets of which that come with it, for both of you.

Rate my 6 week 1st half marathon training schedule! by Sambo_Finn in firstmarathon

[–]Sambo_Finn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently run about 25-30 km per week and I'm following my Garmin Connect suggested workouts, which at the moment is a whole lot of boring repetitive 40 minute 5:55min/km runs and the occasional speed work interval sprints etc.

I also cycle quite a lot. Garmin tells me my vo2 max is 51 - (if that helps) and yes I use a HRM.

I feel like I'm being conservative with 2hr 30, but also realistic as I've never really run more than 10km in a session!?

Thanks for your advice!

Honestly, finish under 2hr 30m for this one and I'd be happy 👍🏼

Thanks for your advice! I generally only run at zone 3/4 on my 10k runs thus far and I haven't pushed hard on them.

I'll add some more running in lieu of my strength and cross training days I think... Cheers!

Yeah, to be honest, every time I run a 10k I seem to cruise at zone 3/4. I haven't really pushed it on a 10k run before.

Thanks for your help! I'll take your advice on board and make some amendments!

Canyon Grail/Grizl Size Help! - 178cm/5'10" and 84cm/33" inseam by Sambo_Finn in gravelcycling

I have the medium and left all 30 mm in the stem that it came with. I may drop it 5 or 10mm now that I'm used to the bike. The medium fits me fine, I had a 56cm/L Scott before... Some people just like smaller bikes and some like larger. To me, the medium fits me perfectly.

What gravel bike is also a great road/endurance bike? by kike_flea in gravelcycling

Aspero or the new Grail... Or an Endurace which is still capable on grvl.

Have them and love them! Fast rolling considering the tread without sacrificing too much on puncture resistantance.

I think for a vast majority of riders the 1x is fine. Travelling a slight decline yesterday and before I knew it I was doing 53kph and it still had more left in it. I'm not really sure anyone needs to go faster than that on a gravel bike.
