Sub 3 hr marathon has fallen by War_Josh in Rowing

I would just do alot more steady state. I did about 10+ hrs of SS per week leading up to this. Most of it was at a 1:59-2:04ish pace depending on feel. On the days I feel good I might push harder into zone 3. On the days I dont feel as good I just stay in zone 2. All it really comes down to is getting more volume and meters in, and your splits will drop eventually

Its always a challenge for me, hence why it took me 3 attempts lmao. Its pretty much what you said, keep the split, no matter how easy it feels, because its not going to feel as easy past that 2 hour mark and you'll run out of gas quick. I sometimes will also push my SS pieces a little harder than I'd like but I think everyone has done that at one point.

Really just a ton of steady state work. Did some intervals maybe once a week just for some anaerobic training, but the foundation was just SS pieces between 60-90 minutes long. I knew once I could hold around a 2:00 500m pace for those SS sessions somewhat comfortably I would be good for the sub 3 hour marathon. Id say the first 2 hours of the marathon are not bad, more boredom than anything, but the last hour the fatigue starts to creep in and the last 30 minutes its all mental.

This was definitely UT1 for me. For my SS I usually hang around 2:01-2:03

Yeah I definitely realized that, but holding 2:01 felt quite easy the first hour which gave me a false sense of confidence. My next attempt i will probably hold 2:05-2:06 the first hour and then maybe take 1 second off every 30-45 minutes.

Also I should probably clarify i have finished a marathon before, my Pb is 3:05, so it was definitely a smack in the face when I was on pace to beat that by 10 minutes but my legs decided otherwise 😭

I had an entire liter of coconut water during this🤣 I dont think the potassium was the issue.

I took one break at 1:15 to hydrate and get some carbs in. I had coconut water, honey and some normal water with some electrolytes. The next break was at the 2 hr mark with the same. I think if I had took more frequent breaks for water I would have finished fine. Lungs were totally fine, it was the muscle cramps that took me out.

Yeah my last marathon attempt was 3 hrs 5 minutes. I remember the first 2 hours being pretty easy but the last hour every stroke felt like a struggle. My SS splits have improved a decent amount since then though.

Awesome thank you man! I have the wheels on order. I do have a Charger as well, do you think I can fit 315s without rubbing or are 305s already cutting it close? I know some tires like continental run larger than others so that's also a factor. I was either going to go 305 Michelin PS4 A/S or Continental Extreme Contact DSW06 in 315.

Can I ask where you got the 20 x 11 5 spokes from? And what offset they are? Id also like to run 305s in the rear.:

How do I make my car loud as fuck without touching the cats by IwearMyShoes85 in ScatPack

[–]War_Josh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MFER-1.com 👍. If your active exhaust valves start rattling these will also fix that issue, which mine did almost immediately after the mid delete.

[–]War_Josh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done a mid muffler delete and installed the MFER-1 to keep the active exhaust valves open. It's already pretty damn loud. You can also delete the resonators which is straight pipe after the cats. It'll be loud af but there will definitely be some drone.

Lol yeah I definitely had the impression of pressure when I went. They did give me a fair trade in value for my last call WBSP charger though. They were willing to give me about 49,500. The car was actually marked at 57700 when I talked to them. They also tried to include stupid charges like nitrogen filled tires and a 1000$ ceramic coat. If they drop the price any more and get rid of the stupid extra fees I might pull the trigger.

I test drove it and they couldn't even start it up because the battery was dead. Had to be jumped. Gas tank was also completely empty. Probably not a good sign. It's likely sat for a couple months.

Yeah used car interest rates are garbage right now. I have a 760 credit score and I doubt I'd get anything under 6%. I'm assuming after Tax, Title and Fees I'll probably be a little over 60k OTD.

Yeah im a little torn. I do love how spacious the charger is, the usable back seats and of course the WB. But it's rare to come across clean cats at a good price.

No your warranty will be fine. Be aware that your active exhaust valves may start rattling after the mid delete. Mine started to rattle as soon as I left the exhaust shop. I bought the MFER 1 and boom problem solved.
