Yesterday was long brick day and I completed another 180k ride (4th) and 15k run, same distance as last week, but it was much hotter and humid than last week. (Also got a 4k swim in on Friday and another 2k on Saturday). It was an 8 hour workout and at the end of it, I was done, done, done and left wondering how to manage having to run another 27k in Louisville. Trust in your training, trust in your training and you’ll benefit from this exposure to the heat was all I could come up with! I guess most people just don’t know what lies beyond the 20k or 30k mark of the Ironman marathon, suppose that’s part of the Ironman lure. Total for the week was 9750m swimming, 240k bike, 60k running, total of 17:30 hours for the week.
This week is the final week to train before the 3 week taper period starts and should be the highest volume week on the schedule. Will be trying for another 17 hr week and possibly 18 hr. Weather forecast is for a hot and humid week, yeah! It will be 35 degrees plus all week in Louisville, plus the humidity so better star getting used to it!
