Comment on 7.3 things I learned from my first 70.3 by dan

thanks for this – I will not be as well prepared for my first 70.3 as you … I can do all three separately no problem – but putting them together will be tough – four months to go – mayber I’ll feel better about it then – but thanks for your post – good reminders about how to stay positive and live the experience.

Cheers,

This is spot on with the philosophy we have been preaching to time-crunched triatheltes since 2007: Build your Fast, then put Far on top of it. This kind of workout is good year round, for sure. In the winter, you could do it just 1x a week, with another interval workout that’s more at threshold pace (say 3 x 1 mile or 2 x 1.5 miles, etc), and then a steady run of an hour, etc., for the “base” work that you preach.

I’d also note that you should do the interval runs outside if possible; treadmills are good but nothing like the real thing!

VO2Max can be also improved by training up in the mountains where oxygen supply is lesser than in the valley. Yet, according to some scientists you must live at least 6 months to make a difference that may be statistically meaningful.

what are running strides in this context? what do you mean by rbi? run between intervals? how are you determining lactate threshold pace for the purposes of this workout?

Nice, simple and to the point. Goal is to finish Wildflower 70.3 feeling good about my race, not “just making it.” I know these are important to incorporate into my workouts so I better get on it!
