When I was training for IM last year, I never did a full 112 bike or a 26.2 mile run. Think my furthest ride was 100 and longest run was 19. I did swim an entire 2.4 once juts to convince myself I could do it, so I understand your thinking, but please give yourself plenty of time to recover. IM takes alot out of you...ALOT.Jfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07112629068602038293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-677934508369265852.post-61529775361822303582014-06-25T16:16:43.004-06:002014-06-25T16:16:43.004-06:00The stand alone marathon and IMTX will be well ove...The stand alone marathon and IMTX will be well over 9 months apart, with even 4 months between this and official IM training will start, allowing for plenty of recovery time if necessary. I have also done 4 previous stand alone marathons, so I am not new to the distance. The goal is simply to take it easy on all three segments and just complete the distance Katie Voorheeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14941186078338092399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-677934508369265852.post-69271962477831988192014-06-25T14:29:00.524-06:002014-06-25T14:29:00.524-06:00I would avoid running a stand alone marathon befor...I would avoid running a stand alone marathon before an ironman. It is very different than a run after a 112 mile bike, the training focus is different, and the recovery time is better spent with another build cycle. The injury play is why approx 2/3 of your training time is spent on the bike. If anything, bias the run even less in favor of more biking.RockStarTrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01819672184842226835noreply@blogger.com
