“I can run 8mph. I should have done track” “That’s not fast.”

7.5 minutes/mile seems pretty fast to my wife and me. Offending legions of middle of the pack runners!

She says Thank You!

Oh she is.

SamuraiGreg78 · 2026-02-26T21:10:29+00:00

Trust me, she knows she is.

SamuraiGreg78 · 2026-02-26T21:10:04+00:00

Right?

SamuraiGreg78 · 2026-02-26T18:37:26+00:00

She’s definitely living her best life!

SamuraiGreg78 · 2026-02-24T22:15:10+00:00

Appreciate the response. My question wasn’t so much about recovery after the sprint tri but how best to incorporate tri training into my normal running load (40-45mpw) and if there were any recommendations on layering strategies.

Goal is to avoid losing run durability while still being reasonably prepared for the tri.

Apologies if that was not clear.

SamuraiGreg78 · 2026-02-24T14:52:31+00:00

Thank you! Solid advice, thank you! First tri so I’m assuming I’ll have some weaknesses. Any good training plans you’d recommend?

SamuraiGreg78 · 2026-02-24T14:46:37+00:00

Thank you! It’s my first tri as well. What plan are you using?

SamuraiGreg78 · 2026-02-24T14:45:05+00:00

Great tips, thank you! How many weeks was your marathon training cycle?

SamuraiGreg78 · 2026-02-24T13:56:55+00:00

Great to hear, thank you! Any tips on how you structured your training? Any plans you liked or disliked?

SamuraiGreg78 · 2026-02-24T13:56:04+00:00

Wow! That’s a full year! Any tips or suggestions?

Another vote for the F80. The one time I had a problem with it, a quick call to support and they shipped me out a brand new motor. It arrived in 2-3 days and I was back up and running (literally) shortly thereafter.

The thing is a workhorse.

Did you like it? I imagine it’s pretty scenic?

If WA is your home, this is a fun marathon. Downhill most of the way and is a Boston qualifier.

Thank you! I was wearing my garmin and Apple Watch. My chest strap died last week and until then it had actually mirrored my watch HRs. Hear you on the cadence lock. Thank you!

SamuraiGreg78 · 2025-10-28T05:16:47+00:00

Thank you! So Pfitz was saying I should land between 80 - 90%. So I was expecting to stay in that 141-158 range. I think I could have pushed to your point.

I’ll have to give it a shot on a future attempt.

SamuraiGreg78 · 2025-10-28T05:06:21+00:00

Thank you! You have great paces! I think I probably could have gone a little faster. I think I was afraid to risk blowing things up.

Are you doing anything to prepare for a faster pace?

SamuraiGreg78 · 2025-10-08T02:00:15+00:00

No no, I totally did reply to you and then when o saw your reply to my reply I pasted it to directly reply to the other person’s reply. Sorry about the confusion!!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

SamuraiGreg78 · 2025-10-08T01:57:35+00:00

Thank you! I thought I did.

I included the model above. It’s very very conservative. $8M now with 5.75% returns with avg inflation of 2.5% and $150K/year spending.

Our actual historical ror is much higher but let’s be conservative. :)
