Use this year to get a half or two under your belt - 68 days is only 10 weeks till your first 1/2 IM?!? I got my first one done on an average of 5hrs of training a week, ramped up to about 6 or 7 for the last month - and I survived. You've got some running miles under your belt, so you should do just fine. If you haven't been doing much swimming or biking - I'd spend the next 10 weeks (well, 8 weeks, since you've got about a 2 week taper to plan in there too, right?) getting in some good long bikes and swims. Just my 2 cents....good luck!Bigunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05101189927170393085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33757785.post-89193424026372437522007-01-22T10:49:00.000-08:002007-01-22T10:49:00.000-08:00Are you doing the Lonestar Half Ironman?

I have done quite a bit of reading on teh subjest and talked to many people more experienced then me and here is my 2-cents:<br />Any of these paths will get you there. IM is more about consistency then anything else so if you can stick to any of these schedules then i think you will do fine. More shorter races will likely make you faster, but more long races (1/2IM) will perhaps give you more confidence and training for IM. An Olympic race is basically an entirely different sport then IM so getting at least 1 1/2IM in is key. Good luck!!!Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08978813085581924305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33757785.post-74217131415865394462007-01-21T07:39:00.000-08:002007-01-21T07:39:00.000-08:00Looks like you will have a busy & fun year! ;-)Looks like you will have a busy & fun year! ;-)Allezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03652584784942296163noreply@blogger.com
