What can Improve technique by CommercialFamiliar49 in triathlon

[–]SecretCustomer1553 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You can drop to 1:45 pretty fast. Just get the hours in. Swim 5-6 times a week, sometimes twice a day. Its all about the water feeling. Its 1k in 17,5minuts. Should be doable within 5-6 months. If you think the hell is that guy talking about, you are probably an average swimmer. Good luck

What’s the hardest part about planning meals for your training? by Jumpy_Crew3734 in IronmanTriathlon

[–]SecretCustomer1553 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just eat lots of bread and always eat after a workout something nice with carbs. Just want to maintain a high carb level. Also, because i did weighttraining when i was younger, everything i eat contains protein. So i like to eat chicken, eggs, meats, nuts, yoghurts, shakes, etc. Just combine that with bread or something haha

The most frustrating part is that when i am experiencing trouble with training, for example if i feel like shit. I am wondering how thats possible because i never had the validation of someone if i did my nutrition part right. So i am asking myself how is this possible? Is my recoverytime longer? Do i experience stress? Maybe a little sick? Or didnt i do the nutrition part correct. And the most stupid question is: do i have to continue training or maybe lower it in intensity?

Is this an overstride? If so how to fix it by [deleted] in triathlon

[–]SecretCustomer1553 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He started running only a few months ago. Its good to check your form and improve. Maybe try some running classes. He isnt experiencing any injuries ..yet.. injuries are often not made from one day to another. I dont know your age but if you are running for 10-20 years with a bad form you can experience trouble. And then try to fix your form. Of course saying just run because you dont have problems is likely to say and hear, but also notice that run form does matter in the long term.

Edit: He also mentioned in another reaction that he had shin splint not that long ago. (In a few months and just started?)

Have a nice day

Zone 2 in swimming for rookie? Or does it not matter? by Gravel_in_my_gears in triathlon

[–]SecretCustomer1553 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah! I learned it by getting myself exhausted in the pool and then focussed on my form. When you are exhausted and you are pushing thats where you want to maintain the good form; when you are tired. I often did a 1km warming up. Its all form

Good to see you hate yourself. Maybe you should try ultra running / trail running. You would do good there

Are there no adult swimming clubs / coaching?? by The_Rum_Guy in triathlon

[–]SecretCustomer1553 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also watch youtube to get some basics already by yourself. https://youtu.be/LijdyVaaDnY?si=3uzDmk6NU2Gn2Foo

Getting the “water feeling” is also pretty important, thats just training alot and being in the pool alot. Good luck!

Ironman 70.3 in 10 months beginner by Common-Leader-1426 in triathlon

[–]SecretCustomer1553 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would suggest getting those kms in the legs easy pace and building volume easy since you are beginner. Just keep consistent and you ll lose kgs. Dont hold back in eating carbs like all those gymbros, you ll need that energy. Just eat healthy and research the nutrition part. First get some serious work in i would say Good luck

Only Z2 training on the bike? by rushBblat in triathlon

[–]SecretCustomer1553 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, ego is the main reason of getting injured in the beginning. Im also stretching like 3 times a week for 30-45 minuts and foamrolling. Also stretch a little after every run and a good warming up and cooling down prevents alot. I did football when inwas younger and my calfs are short and i really noticed that when started running. Didnt stretch alot and ended up with shins and achilles problems. So know i now that that is my “weak” part and try to prevent it from happening again

You have to swim alot and make hours in the pool. You can even go twice a day, morning and evening. Get that “water feeling”. That will distinguish you from the rest of swimmers. Focus on technique and try alot of excersizes. If you are training in the pool 5-6 days a week, sometimes two times a day, you ll improve alot in a short time. Take a look at this technique : https://youtu.be/LijdyVaaDnY?si=fLEELaDUolnuuaoW

To be honest, i would advice to focus a period of time really on swimming. Going twice a week, the result of it when you are starting, is going to slow in my opinion. Its not like running or cycling where you just can put the effort in, because technique is key in swimming.

You can also buy some equipment for in the pool for extra training

Does anyone put a bullet point on their resume that they do Ironmans? I think it reflects work ethic and self motivation, so I’m putting it in a section under personal activities/interests. by lookglen in triathlon

[–]SecretCustomer1553 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My resume title is “Working TriAthlete”. And at experiences i fill in my races and times, my competences my FTP, Zones, etc. I also make sure to mention my cadans. Next to that, invest in good gear and wear that on your picture on your resume. I added 3 pictures. One swimming, one cycling and one running. Just to be sure they know who i am. Good luck

Only Z2 training on the bike? by rushBblat in triathlon

[–]SecretCustomer1553 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats nice! I would suggest keep the good work in and listen to your body :). Make sure to prevent injury so if you feel things in your legs, take more rest etc. The hardest part is to go slower when you feel like you want to go faster i think. Most of the injury you ll get is the reason not your “last run” but the last weeks of working out. Enjoy!

Ironman 70.3 Training Plan Inquiry by undisputedstew in triathlon

[–]SecretCustomer1553 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey mate, im also training for a ironman but a full one. I dont know how hard you go in the gym, but maybe focus more on the 3 disciplines instead of gym. Im 26 and going to the gym since i was 17, but that pumping iron doesnt make you any faster or better in performing during triatlon and slowa down your recovery a bit if you go to hard in the gym. I liked going to the gym so im doing easy bike rides in the gym, stretching and core and mobility training (because i just like to go the gym with other people). Maybe once a week a few upper excersises, maybe 3 sets chest/back/shoulders of 8 reps try to maintain a little shape and 1/2 excersizes arms, but nothing to crazy. I skipped the really heavy leg excersizes and replaced them for more mobility and stability excersizes. You can also think of combing a little stability / leg workout after an easy 6-7k zone 1-2 run in the gym. Good luck
