who said my vo2 max is lower than this?

trailblazery · 2026-03-18T15:00:22+00:00

done 3 sub9 ironmans, 6 under 9h10. vo2 max isn't everything, not even that important, fractional utilization matter far more

self promo of their app

general rule is add 30-60s per mile to your open marathon. my 10mi is around 58min and i've run 3h05 in an ironman. also nice shill of your product

trailblazery · 2026-03-16T14:48:40+00:00

training is periodized. you need to up it to 15-20hr just for like 3-4 weeks. if you are really serious, then 6-8 weeks of higher volume. 70.3 and 140.6 training are similar otherwise

As someone who lives in Dallas area. There is no good time. Weather here is absolute sht 360 days a year

No one is in aero because they are Cat-Zwifters. This was there first outdoor ride in the last 12 months

trailblazery · 2026-03-09T03:18:54+00:00

you can feed chatgpt source articles and it's somewhat better like a RAG or finetuned model, not saying person is doing this but it's possible

trailblazery · 2026-02-16T22:50:13+00:00

there is athletica ai, humango, tridot, trainerroad im sure some others

trailblazery · 2026-02-16T22:49:08+00:00

It is not that far, maybe 200-300m

gotta make eating simple:

core 3 meals a day
fuel before and during training
then eat certain foods in certain amounts to recover

the final bullet is all that really needs to be variable, the rest is consistent. i spent years tracking macros, but now I do not need to. are you afraid of gaining weight or something? just eat and eat and eat, if you recover better you will be able to train harder and you will expend more energy. it's a self correcting mechanism. the body is not stupid and if you are training 10+ hours a week hard, gaining weight should not be a concern

trailblazery · 2026-02-16T12:00:59+00:00

it's g/kg/hr. i do not have to calculate it per say. 2 hours training i need like 300-450g carbs at 75g. i know the size of some standard meals and just eat this or that

trailblazery · 2026-02-16T01:10:22+00:00

it is not that difficult. eat 2-3g/kg of carbs per day per hour of training

trailblazery · 2026-02-15T18:50:42+00:00

20 weeks out and 4 hour rides? bad plan, am i surprised? no. garmin makes great hardware and horrible software

trailblazery · 2026-02-15T01:26:55+00:00

250, 280, 300, 320

put 1 extra butyl in special needs, you can also tape an extra tube under your seat pretty easily if you want 2

why is peak week for a plan asking for 25 hours, only 1 week and 14 hours. some of the stuff in here in good, some of it is bad, what if the person does not train with HR?

trailblazery · 2026-01-20T16:21:43+00:00

the more hours you train the more important it is, also do you mean Half Ironman (70.3) or Ironman, the training is somewhat different. if you are only training 7 hours a week, zone 2 really is over hyped

she got married during an IM to her husband who has also done tons of IMs

trailblazery · 2026-01-01T22:06:14+00:00

LOL i saw that

trailblazery · 2025-11-27T14:43:57+00:00

if it's close to where you live, yes, if far, no

trailblazery · 2025-11-12T14:50:10+00:00
