September 2010 - Muskoka 70.3 Ironman 
July 2011 - Ironman Lake Placid |
This was last weeks training and nutrition… Not a lot of training and too many calories to bother counting :) Post race it was time for some R&R&R. Relaxing, resting and rewarding. I was a good boy for 20 weeks after all! It began with the absolute best BBQ I have ever had. Post [...] Portion control is key to any diet. Even training for a marathon, Ironman, whatever it is you torture yourself with eating too much will make you fat. Humans are wired to eat more than we need to as a defence when food becomes scarce and we go days without eating. The more food you are [...] OK so the pictures don’t relate to the title but I don’t care. Just over two weeks ago I decided to try something and go Gluten Free. I started investigating GF things as I this constant feeling of not being 100%. I wasn’t sick but something wasn’t right. Over the past few years I assumed [...] Most people are familiar with Lent. While I don’t “do” that in the traditional sense I will be taking part in an Iron Lent. With 40 days to go until Ironman Lake Placid it is time for one last push to turn this body into an Ironman body. Training has been going well and I [...] 7 Weeks 6 days! Time is flying by. But not before 5 big weeks of training get out of the way first. This would have been the biggest but the Sunday ride was cut a little short. I took part in a charity ride and we held a higher pace than expected so I finished [...] Pervert. I know what you thought when you read that title. Freak.

As I was planning the trip to Knoxville I started scoping out [...] 30 days until the Rev3 Tri Knoxville Half Rev. I read an article the other day, Using a 70.3 to Optimize Your Ironman, and it was the same advice I got from the Mark Allen Online coaches and the timing of this race is perfect. Not only will it be a nice change of pace [...] Spring is here, sort of. Today is the first day of Spring and that means (hopefully) more outdoor riding. While I am OK with riding the trainer I’d much rather ride outside and this past week I did. Well it wasn’t warm yet, the nicest ride I had was 13C and sunny on Thursday. Aside [...] I love to eat, in fact that was the prime reason for my larger frame and one of the things I love about training. Today I can eat as much as I want as long as I stick to healthy food. Staying fuelled during a workout or a race has gotten more important as the [...] Always hungry, that is the best way to describe me these days. Just for kicks I thought I’d count calories for a few days to see what I came up with. On day one I managed to eat 2319 calories (44% Carb, 34% Fat, 22% Protein) while burning 1199 calories with a run [...] |
