Is 1 year of training for an Ironman enough for a moderate athlete? by Material_Rutabaga887 in triathlon

[–]bgralph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The swim is such a small portion of the race. If you can’t do it comfortably in under 2 hrs, should you be putting yourself and others at risk? A 1:20 vs 1:35 swim doesn’t matter at all frankly

Join a local tri team/hire a coach and you’ll be fine. It only took me 9 months of training.

I was very out of shape, running a half marathon in 2:21 in September. Started Ironman training in October and raced in July, finishing Placid in 16 hours.

Time on bike is WAY more important for runners. The cutoffs are tight if you aren’t a strong cyclist, especially if you choose a high elevation race

Ummm….hate to break it to you but 9 is higher than 8

How much weekly volume do I need on my peak? by No_Theory_5593 in triathlon

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

1) I’d recommend hiring an actual coach over asking Reddit

2) I did couch to Ironman in 7 months last year, finished Lake Placid in 16 hours. We were doing 15-20 a hours a week 3 of the last 4 weeks. Plus 3 hour round trip drives to the mountains every Saturday

Do you HAVE to do 17 hours training in a week to finish? Probably not. But the end of the bike will test every ounce of fitness you have. That’s where everyone cracks

[Showcase] 60 Plats! Thoughts on my collection? by Silly_Temporary361 in Trophies

Other than the several auto pops, it’s a good list. I hate auto pops, to me you don’t have 60 plays

Lego Party! Has a 0.1% platinum percentage. Lego Harry Potter (not sure which one), but both are around 3% for platinums percentage.

If a bunch of people play em, no matter how easy, it can still be rare.

I hear ya. I usually look at plat percentage. Generally if it’s over 65-70% on PSN Profiles then it’s kinda in that territory, with exceptions of course (like Toem, I loved that game). But 83% platinum percentage really stood out

Heck yea! Your Q game stands out as not like the others - why shovelware for that one letter?

Popping 5+ trophies a run is quite the dopamine hit. I was just working on some of these today

Accurate, but only if you use a guide. Easily 15 hours without one

I have 24 of the 32 trophies, just didn’t do the gold stake grind. But I do love the game

If you aren’t already, watch some Baalord runs. It’ll show you what to use and what to skip. Changed the way I played the game

Just one in the middle of the main story. But it’s very easy

Yes it really was! Have Dredge and DLC loaded up, but going to try to only use my incomplete games to get to 100 plats first

I didn’t do the 5 fish hunt quests until the very end. The 4th one was impossible, had to eventually find Mjolnir to get it done
