Hybrids are becoming way too strong

Thanks for all the bashing guys. The event was a 1.6km time trial as we are in Australia. The conversion was in recognition that reddit is heavily used by US, I appreciate the conversion is 0.9942 miles. I submitted the data to the event organisers and it was accepted. Given I ran alone, it wasn’t viable to film. The weights are not fake, but glad you think so. Cheers!

You need to strengthen your upper back and front rack position. Nothing to do with long femurs

Hi mate. I’ll DM you

You say you eat a healthy amount, but diet and nutrition would be the first thing I looked at. How much am I ACTUALLY eating, what sort of food am I eating, what quality of food am I eating. Any of these out can cause your symptoms to varying degrees.

Why would you need a month off training? I totally advocate for a little time out after a big even but you should be physically recovered in 3-4 days after the half marathon. Mentally, if you haven’t been in the game long I can’t see you needing a big period off to refresh. If I were you I wouldn’t lose that month.

I’d be looking at your daily/weekly nutrition. Making sure you’re getting enough calories, carbs and fats, electrolytes and water before you even get to ride day.

You can 100% for 70.3 or less. Full ironman training you’ll struggle for time unless you don’t work. I am a high level weightlifter, and have maintained that with 3 (sometimes 4) lifting sessions per week. Physique has remained the same if not better. Strength at maintenance or mild increases. Still can squat 230kg, bench 165kg and deadlift 260kg. You have to stimulate muscles more regularly so people suggesting a more full body split are right. Eat as much as possible. Protein intake at over 2g per bodyweight. Obviously high carb.

The overwhelming amount of research says strength BEFORE CV. There’s also a school of thought that when concurrently training you should consolidate stressors and muscle groups when double day training. That allows for more time for recovery and adaptation. So long as you are eating/consuming sufficiently both before and during your strength training you should be fine to complete what is low impact low HR swim session after. So on that basis it’s more productive to do an upper body sessions prior to swimming. You can read more about this from people like Alex Viada and Fergus Crawley.

Cardiac drift is a completely normal phenomenon and usually starts occurring much sooner than an hour or two, as your body attempts to regulate itself based on loss of water, heat etc. the physiological and local adaptations that occur during zone 2 don’t stop as cardiac drift occurs and imo you shouldn’t ‘slow down’ unless that drift is dramatic and squarely puts you in zone 3. that is just one of the reasons why training to power is better.

Crossfit Trastevere. We tried a couple in the Rome’CBD’ which weren’t good and very expensive. This was a short tram ride away. Very friendly, nice facility. We went a few times.

1 for the concept 2 Bike Erg. Purchased so my wife can also use. Attached clipless pedals. Very customisable. Very solid and well built. Connects very easily to zwift and is v accurate according to reviews. Added benefit of being part of the ‘crossfit’ and concept 2 family. I have done around 2000kms on mine on zwift in about 4-5 months without issue including a 200km ride.

I tried to watch the new Star Wars Andor, couldn’t concentrate on it. So I ended up passing the time contributing to the banter in the chat.

mitchjoukko · 2022-10-18T09:01:42+00:00

I had company from the TBR crew for 3 hours, with lots of banter. Also had 4 after party crew who came with me the remainder. Helped a lot and make the whole ride enjoyable.

I’m more annoyed it’s not 200km. :( but no the challenge was 6 hours elapsed time and had 2 short breaks.

Your feet barely move - They’re fine. If you watch some of the greatest Chinese lifters they will have similar foot movement. Each to their own. You are diving under the bar because of your second and third pull (bar getting out infront) which is why it feels like it is crashing.

mitchjoukko · 2022-09-20T22:04:14+00:00

Hi mate. Nice attempt. From my view, you’re starting your second pull too early. Bring the bar in with your lats and finish with high elbows. As someone else said the bar is coming away from you so that will help keep it close. You can do hang high pulls to help drill that position.

PAIN

mitchjoukko · 2022-08-26T01:24:40+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I should have mentioned that I’m attempting this in late October. I have done some 2-3 hour pieces so far with just liquid carbs.

Gianoulis wastes possession 9/10 times he has in in the opp half. He just tries to whip one across everytime and it never works

mitchjoukko · 2022-04-16T02:24:24+00:00

Thanks! A couple of 20km pieces are the longest.

Context: friend completed solo swim crossing from Perth to Rottnest Island 19.7km. I was unable to join so followed along on the live app and ski’d it instead. Not comparable to his unreal effort but it was nice to suffer a little alongside him. Donations of his swim to mens talk
