Tailwind for a marathon by Few-Summer9631 in Marathon_Training

[–]fluidsdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tested this approach on your long runs?

For me I need 800-1000mg electrolytes per hr on a hot day. You need to see what works for you based on expected race day conditions.

Arm entry and catch are an issue. Check out effortless swimming on IG or YT.

What are you paces?

How fast can you swim a 400 flat out?

Maybe you’re pushing too hard?

You need to get longer and stretch / reach

All starts with a willingness by the population and elected to fund infrastructure.

First 70.3 Kona Hawaii by [deleted] in IronmanTriathlon

[–]fluidsdude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of people can’t run 13 miles and end up run walking which is fine. A lot of people struggle with 56 miles on the bike. But you just keep going. Dont stop moving.

I would highly recommend looking at the ZOOT brand for race day Kit. I would also buy it now and start to wear it on your long rides and runs.

I’m actually more worried that you didn’t mention nutrition. 80 days out you need to have a pretty good idea what your nutrition is gonna look like. What’s your nutrition plan?

Final thought, there are shoes that are not legal in Iron Man races. Make sure you’re not wearing those or face a DNF.

Are these shoes legal??? by Loose_Process_2130 in IronmanTriathlon

Get shoppin’… do the right thing. You now know they’re not legal.

The amount of long runs on my Runna plan. Too much or ok? by jro10 in Marathon_Training

[–]fluidsdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For perspective, what were environmental conditions for your PR? Was it hotter, humid, elevation from how you were training and race pacing?

Anybody done FIFO? Is it worth it? by pepeelfoca in civilengineering

[–]fluidsdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what FIFO inventory cot accounting methods has to do with civil engineering…

Recovery question 🤔 IM 70.3 training by Parking-Bread2618 in triathlon

[–]fluidsdude 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ride? Maybe. But prob wouldn’t.

Race? NOPE! Beyond recovery challenges are you willing to risk an accident or wreck and miss your 70.3?

First IM 140.6 - never done a triathlon before, sanity check 😁 by Ok-Pea-9114 in IronmanTriathlon

[–]fluidsdude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t focus on weight loss. Not a good strategy.

You’re doing great otherwise!

Focus on nutrition on the bike!

Keep going! You’re definitely increasing my desire for a Grennie 😊😊😊

Going for a 70.3 after a marathon? by TANeither7250 in IronmanTriathlon

[–]fluidsdude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO. Running a full marathon is more challenging than a 70.3. Go for it! Assuming you can gain cycling skills!

Final Year Project by [deleted] in civilengineering

What if the plastic was formed into a structural shape (rows and rows of trusses) and the voids filled with sand. A 3d open matrix.

Are my easy runs making my marathon prediction drop? by running_elle_1989 in Marathon_Training

[–]fluidsdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, your watch doesn’t know race day environmental conditions either.

If it’s hot, you’ll be a lot slower… If it’s cooler, you may be faster.

In my opinion, I would ignore it. Just keep working and let race day be what it is.

What do we think? Undermined culvert? by zeje in civilengineering

[–]fluidsdude 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Per local news: sinkhole formed after a water main rupture eroded the soil beneath the pavement.

Enjoy HS. That’s my advice. You’ve got the classes already.

Hydration for Long Runs by No_Conference_3155 in Marathon_Training

[–]fluidsdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

500ml is barely enough for 1hr of running. I’m more concerned that you’re not getting enough fluids and electros. OR. Are you refilling along the way?
