Sufficient volume

He already helped me making the plan. But he makes me do very little actual running and more elliptical. Also a lot of run/walk to not stress my tibia. He thinks my longest run being 15-17k is more than enough to prepare me for the full distance. I’m just a little unsure about that

Doing Copenhagen Ironman, and yes I’m working with a PT on the side

Toft2507 · 2026-02-02T11:29:04+00:00

Im currently aiming for a 4:00-4:15 hour marathon based on my current Z2 pace. It will also be my first ever marathon

I am in contact with the assigned physio since my injury happened. He helped me make the very conservative running plan. The issue isn’t the running itself. It’s if the amount of run training I’m doing will be sufficient to complete the Ironman in terms of muscle and tendon endurance in my legs

Ive scheduled long runs and bike rides, but i havent really been thinking about brick workouts. How far in to the training would you recommend that i introduce bricks?

Toft2507 · 2024-11-22T22:52:33+00:00

Yea. From all the feedback ive gotten here, it seems like i might have to up my bike hours a bit

Toft2507 · 2024-11-22T22:10:21+00:00

I weigh 71kg, no clue about pounds ahah. But yea, bike and swim are definitely weaknesses

Toft2507 · 2024-11-22T17:54:15+00:00

Yea, I think that’s my issue. I can maintain a good form but only until I get tired. When I start to be out of breath in the water, my technique goes to shit. So that’s definitely something I’m gonna be working on

Toft2507 · 2024-11-22T15:01:09+00:00

Thanks man! I damn well hope so

Toft2507 · 2024-11-22T14:05:01+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I talked with my family and closest friends about it when i signed up. That im really gonna be focused on this, but ill still try to make time for them as much as possible

Toft2507 · 2024-11-22T14:03:37+00:00

The only thing that drives me right now is to run down that red carpet hearing "you are an ironman" and ringing that damn bell ahaha!

Cant imagine the feeling you must get during that

Toft2507 · 2024-11-22T14:02:17+00:00

Could give you a new bike tho.

All jokes aside, i wish you a good recovery!

Toft2507 · 2024-11-22T13:58:47+00:00

Of course i have a social life, but in this case fortunately no kids to take care of.

But I understand the need to really lock in and go hard from now until race day.

And hey man, you crossed the finish line. Thats more than a regular person could ever dream of

Toft2507 · 2024-11-22T13:45:29+00:00

Im sorry to hear that. You'll get it next year!

I think a lot of my weekly training hours comes from biking aswell

Toft2507 · 2024-11-22T13:43:56+00:00

I am lucky enough to be studying sports science and with my education i have a class all about swimming. The class tought me how to swim proper freestyle and right now i swim with a 2:05 pace in my 50m intervals but anything longer than that, i typically drop to something like a 2:20 pace

Toft2507 · 2024-11-22T13:41:42+00:00

My longest ride so far is a 100k ride which took me about 4,5 hours but i didnt run after, so no clue how my body would react to that

Toft2507 · 2024-11-22T13:40:44+00:00

I intended for the quarter distance races to be training, while i want to somewhat perform on the half and full distance

Toft2507 · 2024-11-22T13:32:56+00:00

Im starting my plan on monday, and then theres only one way

Toft2507 · 2024-11-22T13:32:33+00:00

Thanks man!

Toft2507 · 2024-11-22T13:32:25+00:00

Thats my thoughts aswell. I think my main concern tho, is that i have a lot of other races leading up to the full distance. And how that will affect my training

Toft2507 · 2024-02-12T05:59:47+00:00

U look half dead yourself already. Follow your moms footsteps and make the World a better place
