My Goal is sub 6hour

35min for the Swim currently my PB is 35 for a 2km swim


looking at around

3hr - 3hr 30 Bike which would be an Avg Speed 25 kmh - 30kmh

and Run im looking at
1hr 40 - 1hr 50 going to try and keep 8:30 per mile if i can or start off with 9min mile just to losen out the legs and then if i feel good after mile 3 up the pace to 8:30


Going to Start my Bricks... with 2hr bike 15 - 20 min Run

So you can ride at 35kph for over 90km but on race day are choosing to ride at 25kph because of the longer run?

Im a Weak Runner as stated in a past post,

why i join my Local AC club as they do 4 Running Session a week,

where i would be paying 60 euro for my Local Tri Club that really only have 2 meet up a week that is inc in the price, that is a Track Session and a Cycle over the Weekend

Were by paying 60euro a Year for my Local AC club i am gettin Tempo / Core Session, Track Session and one Mid week lite run and a 10 - 12 miler on the weekends.

go on dave you are on a row , we need a board hunt, because somebody made a small error in estimating their race time , and maybe it could end up similar like the story bellow

T3 Cliff notes:
1. Aug 7-17 posts #1-75 Cute tri girl (pics since deleted) training for Ironman, breaks up with BF and is depressed, seeks advice/comfort from Slowtwitch
2. Receives lots of attention/positive reinforcement Very uplifting.
3. Nov 2 posts #76-95 iJen0311 updates day before IM Florida…got hit by car, but is OK, has a new BF
4. Nov 5- posts #97-105 Brags about IM finish and new BF
6. Nov7 post #106 new slowtwitcher (? Ex BF) calls her out for cutting swim and run
7. Nov 7- posts #107-140 slowtwitch “wolves” descend
8. Nov 8 Post #141-251 iJen responds, claims innocence. Provides good evidence that timing is wrong. She presents her Garmin data. Many believe her, others still doubt
9. Nov 8- posts #252-270 (see post #253) Sportsstats guys respond, impossible that she completed whole distance. DISQUALIFIED! iJen continues to claim innocence at least until post #321
10. Nov 8 post #411 post closed and locked for eternity

My head *really* hurts trying to grasp the relevance of this reply to my question. I think the only solution is the ignores list.

Do be putting yourself down niamh. I was reading your log over in the running forum. You are aiming to run 1:20 in the Limerick half in a few weeks time. That's hardly a weak runner!

Currently im stuck in the Gym doing Spinning as my bike needs a new chain and cassette, i might just get out over the weekend with it as is,

last road cycle i did was back in Jan 25
Time: 1:52:33 Moving Time: 1:51:45 Elapsed Time: 1:54:13 Avg Speed: 16.6 mph Avg Moving Speed: 16.7 mph Max Speed: 41.0 mph Speed
Pace

Elevation
Elevation Gain: 1,079 ft Elevation Loss: 1,086 ft Min Elevation: 16 ft Max Elevation: 460 ft

So i need to get into gear and try and get out alest twice a week, with one spinning class or Wattbike session..

RacoonQueen

Niamh, what sort of times do you do on the bike in olympics and sprints and what do you run off it? If you can ride for 35kph I don't understand any logic with dropping it by 5/10kph because of the longer run? You're doing long runs now - I don't understand your logic for dropping the pace on the bike so much to handle longer run?

Thanks. I must take a good look through these. no weekday am training for me!

mossym

30km/hr will get you faster than a 3 hour. it's 85km.

however, it's hilly. avg speeds tough to push up

I'm not sure what happened in my last post.
I was trying to say thanks for posting the links to training plans. They will be useful.

No hassle I'm going to follow the 16 week program as it's something similiar to what I'm doing already with a run on Sundays and cycle on a Saturday..

I dont have time to get out and do a long run midweek

I'll do my ow swim as a recovery session on Monday evenings with a strength session in the morning

Niamh's real name is, as far as can be told, not Niamh. They and I may share a few things in common, at least two anyways.
