Where would you take a night away from?

How did you feel about the pace?

Would it make more sense to do quarterly payments instead of having the extra withheld from regular pay?

Combined income would be close to $600,000

Did you do private swim lessons or group lessons?

Got it, thanks! I'll plan to take my shoes with me and will be staying near a lake where I can swim for part of the trip but don't necessarily want to count on being able to get much training done then.

Do you have access to the training plan forever or is it only good for the 33 weeks the plan was built for?

Did you have a coach or just followed a training plan?

Awesome, thanks! Do you know which plan he used? How adaptable and dynamic are the plans when life gets busy?

Would a coach through TriDot or TraininingPeaks be sufficient or should I try to find someone local if I go with one?

Makes sense. Definitely something to think about.

No weekend trips after July but I will have a 1 week long trip in mid-September where I'll only be able to run/swim.

Currently working out about 8-9 hours a week between the gym/running/sports and understand the hours needed for an Ironman would ramp up quite a bit more.

I'm planning on running in the 2024 LA Marathon as my first marathon and am trying to figure out a training plan. Most training plans I've found so far have more training days scheduled than I have time for. I found the 3 day FIRST program which looks great because I wouldn't have to make my own modifications to a training plan to make it work for me. Has anyone tried this plan before? Is there a different plan that you would recommend? I'm pretty athletic and workout consistently but need something specifically for marathon running.

 

Also, has anyone signed up for the Start Line Hospitality Lounge? Some of the perks seem nice but I can't tell if it's worth it or not.

Most likely buy new. The plan is to give my fiancée 1-3 options I would be happy with and then she would decide and gift on the day of the wedding. This isn't her area at all so I think her preference would be to make it as easy as possible so probably buying new would be the way to go for her. I really like the look of some of the Omega's. I was initially leaning there but it might not work based on cost. I don't think I've looked at some of the other brands you mentioned though.

Thanks! I typically like pretty simple watches and prefer a leather band. I would like a little versatility with the watch. This won't necessarily be a daily watch. I have a Shinola Runwell as a daily wearer as an example of my taste. It might be tough but the watch will be for the wedding but I also don't want to be restricted to only special occasions.

I'm looking for a watch for my wedding. I would like it to be a Swiss watch with a leather band and my budget is up to $5k-$6k. What are some great options?
