Josh, I think I just had a flash back when you talked about the first week of a training plan. I know it’s all mental but man is the first week always seem like a bear! It shouldn’t…heck, I train almost every day of the year but there is something to how hard that first week of a plan can be, LOL. Good luck with the heat…did my first post Ironman run this morning and even at 6am the heat and humidity were nasty. Luckily the body is almost back to 100% and proof for me that my fitness has vastly improve since last years IM. Good luck with the heat…these next weeks will be tough but this is where real gains are made. Cheers and Happy Running! Oh, and thanks for the shout out this week!
Seriously man! Every time I get going, even after all those built up miles, it’s a grind and my legs are HEAVY! Just gotta get through the next couple weeks and I’m guessing I’ll be used to everything.
Congrats on the IM! Hope it went as well as you hoped it would.
Thanks! I was hoping to PR but with the spring we had, I could never have prepped for the heat and the humidity. Heck, most of the pros racing were doing it as a tune up for Kona to get a race in that was hot and humid. All things considered, I finish at just over 14 hours and was happy to do that knowing around 400 DNF’d! Cheers to the grind!
