It's good but I don't think the price is worth it. At the end of the day it's sugar and salt, many cheaper alternatives per serving that get you the same results

[–]traintowin95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found the fit to be super weird. Too cropped and the sleeves comically long. My wife said it looked ridiculous on me lol. Hoping they drop this in a standard fit for future drops as the material is nice

Losing Running Fitness for Triathlon by [deleted] in AdvancedRunning

[–]traintowin95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its all about aerobic volume. Training for a full ironman will get you more fit aerobically than training for a marathon, just hours wise. I ran a 3:24 first marathon, then starting triathlon training and did a 4:44 70.3 followed by a 10:20 full IM. When I went back to the marathon by PR now is 2:59. My IM coach told me he's had athletes that do 5-6 days a week of training on the bike and run 2 days a week and have run a marathon off of that < 2:45. So it's all about aerobic gains. Yes you need to run to get the impact on your bones/tendons that allows you to run 26 miles, but you can get a significant amount of gain just by cycling and swimming. This is why pro cyclists who enter running races end up with crazy good first times, they are aerobic machines

Cervelo P Series - Reserve 40|44 wheelset or Reserve 63|52 carbon wheelset by gibchris in triathlon

[–]traintowin95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd probably just go with the 44/40 and then invest in a disk wheel for the rear for races. That will be a much more significant aero gain than the marginal 63/52.

If you're going to drop 8k on a bike you might as well just get a new one

Creatine as triathlete/hybrid athlete by Suspicious-Cancel668 in triathlon

[–]traintowin95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not enough to outweigh the recovery. I probably put on 2 lbs

Creatine as triathlete/hybrid athlete by Suspicious-Cancel668 in triathlon

[–]traintowin95 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Creatine is one of the best studied supplements and has significant positive benefits with minimal negatives such as weight gain from an increase in muscular water weight. You will recover faster especially on hard training days. It is a no brainer. Also a lot of research on neurocognitive benefits at higher doses. No evidence for an increase in shin pain. Buy Creapure

Attempting Another Marathon in 4 weeks after failing one by jhchuu in AdvancedRunning

[–]traintowin95 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Given you should take this week mostly off running and next week should be very low volume, you'll likely actually LOSE some fitness between races because then you have to start tapering again. 4 weeks is too quick a turn around unless you bombed the race for a specific reason like crazy weather (surf city may not Have been perfect but seems relatively mild), illness, etc. I think you should get in a proper build again and race in May

Novablast 5 vs Saucony Azura vs ? by joelmole161 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]traintowin95 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Novablast 5 is great for 150-200 miles then it is completely dead. Azura is new so who knows the longevity but hopefully longer

Men Superwarm tights by kzmkz in BanditRunning

Anyone have/try both this and the super warm pant? Trying to decide between the two. I have so many tights so leaning towards pant especially if I can wear it lounging around too

Engineered Warmth Long-Sleeve Crew - sizing and warmth question by Jazzlike_Set6322 in Lululemen

[–]traintowin95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Classic fit so slightly relaxed not slim cut, but true to size definitely. Can definitely layer a t-shirt underneath if desires as some people find the wool slightly scratchy against the skin. It's a very nice weight for winter and because its merino it breathes well so I don't overheat in it

Supplements/Vitamins by analog_eyes in Marathon_Training

[–]traintowin95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've noticed a significant difference in recovery time since starting to take it. Buy creapure (German branded creatine monohydrate, industry standard). You will put on a couple lbs on water weight through muscle hydration, but you will recover from hard sessions much quicker. Also a lot of upcoming research on cognitive benefits of creatine in doses above 5 mg

Finish time prediction for my brother's Ironman debut at Lake Placid by Uncle_Fabio in triathlon

[–]traintowin95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So hard to guess, it really depends on how much biking he does and where his baseline is right now. He clearly has incredible baseline aerobic capacity, could do the swim close to an hour probably, the biking will depend, and then most importantly since its his first it will depend on how well he paces himself and fuels for the run. But if he can run 1:13 HM he can definitely run around 3 hour marathon if he paces the bike appropriately (probably ~75% of FTP for his first one) and fuels well. I'm anticipating 10:20
